Raspberry Boulder is a bouldering area in Montana's Custer Gallatin National Forest, within the Bozeman Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the routes run from V0 to V3. Ten boulder problems are listed in total, with the easiest ones including Berry Easy and Tyler Berry at V0, and Cram-Berry at V3. Most of the named routes are V2. The most comfortable climbing weather comes from late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F with lows near 52°F, and September highs around 71°F with lows near 42°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run a little cooler. Practice Rock, another climbing area, is just 0.2 miles away. Crocodile Rock and Moser Highlands Road are both about 1.3 miles off, and Lower Hyalite campground is about a mile away.
