Broken Glass Bridge is a bouldering area in Florida, about a mile from the town of Henrietta. It's a compact crag with six boulder problems, all rated V1 through V2 on the V scale, making it a destination for climbers who prefer short, technical moves on slab and crimps rather than long routes. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Tallahassee weather station show April highs around 80°F and October highs around 82°F, while summer brings highs in the low 90s and the most wet days of the year. The area's boulder problems sit close together. Sun Traverse, Virtuous 1 and Dynoland are a set at V1-2, and Gator Slab runs V2-3. The Little Ladder That Could and Three Little Ledges is another V1 option, and Smack and Nab is a V2 problem, all of them climbed on slab and crimps. Several other hikes lie within a few miles. Myers Park Trail is about 2.2 miles away, and Lake Munson Slough Trail is about 2.7 miles away. For more bouldering, Dead Cat Alley is roughly 3.8 miles off.
