Glacial Erratic Boulder is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about 1.2 miles from the town of Wyoma. It sits among a cluster of other bouldering spots, with Forgotten Boulders, Alien Boulders and Entrance Boulders all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with seven routes ranging from V2- to V6, so it works well as a short session of problems rather than a long climb. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Marblehead show July highs around 80°F with lows near 61°F, while winter highs stay in the 30s. The routes include Tim's Problem at V2- and Home Brew at V6-, with Waiting for Superman at V4+ and The Dearly Departed at V6. For a change from bouldering, the Overlook Trail and Deep Woods Trail East mountain biking routes are within a mile.
