Old Mill Lane Boulder Field is a bouldering area in Mianus Glen Park in Connecticut, about a tenth of a mile from Mianus Park. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with Slabs and Cave and Green Egg Boulder within half a mile and the Cabin Trail about 0.3 miles away. The field holds eight boulder problems, all rated from V0- to V6- on the V scale. Pentagon Traverse is the easiest at V0-, and Color Organ and Kaleidoscope are the hardest at V6-. Escape the Cave, a V1, was first climbed by Will S in December 2019. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Stamford run from highs around 72°F in May to about 76°F in September, with July the warmest at about 85°F.
