Stimulus Boulder is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about 1.4 miles from West Foxboro. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Phantom Tower just 0.1 mile away and Gilbert Hills State Park and Cairn Cave each about 0.2 mile off. The area is a compact, close-to-town destination for boulderers. The climbing here is all bouldering, with nine routes spread across the V0 to V4 range. The easiest are More Money and National Debt, both V0, and the hardest is Socialist Agenda at V4. Most of the routes were first ascended by Joe McLoughlin, with Socialist Agenda by Brian Cowles. For a change from the rocks, the Healthy Heart Loop and Acorn Trail hikes are each about 0.7 mile away. Lake Pearl, roughly 3.5 miles off, offers fishing.
