Ansley Boulder is a bouldering area in Georgia, about 0.2 miles from the town of Whitehall. It is a small, compact spot, all of it clustered within a short walk of town, and it is built entirely around bouldering routes. The area holds 10 boulder problems, ranging from V0 to V4+, with most of them sitting at V1-2. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Athens show October highs around 75°F with lows near 52°F and only about seven wet days. That station sits roughly 3.3 miles away and 246 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run a little cooler. Several routes stand out as the place to start. Classic City Slab is the easiest at V0, Cyclops is a V3, and The Eggman is the hardest at V4+. The UGA East Campus climbing area lies about 2.4 miles away, and the White Trail and Tranquility Trail are both within about 2 miles for a hike after bouldering.
