Deliverance Boulder is a bouldering area in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Greyrock Meadows just 0.1 mile away and Unwilling Boulder about 0.4 mile off. The area has five bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale. The grades run from V5-6 up to V10, with Pisces at V8- and Deliverance at V10. Frenchy Special and Frenchy Deliverance are the two V6 routes. The hardest climb here is Deliverance, a V10 boulder. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 56°F, while winter highs sit around 40°F. That station sits about 1,600 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures at the rock run cooler. Nearby, Hewlett Gulch is about a mile away, and Ansel Watrous Campground is roughly 2.7 miles off. Pine Vu Blocs and Pine Vu are both about half a mile from the boulders.
