Syringe Boulder is a climbing area in Lory State Park in Colorado, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among a cluster of boulders and climbing spots, with several other named areas within a short distance. 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 stay around 40°F. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the boulder, so temperatures here run cooler. Arthur's Rock, Snake and the Skewer and Warm-Up Boulder all lie about 0.1 mile away. The Westridge Trail, a mountain biking route, is about 0.2 mile off.
