The Vineyard is a bouldering area in Montana's Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, within the Butte Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and it sits right next to the Rhône climbing area, about a tenth of a mile away. The area holds five boulder problems, all with grades from V2 to V10. The route called Leif is the easiest at V2, and Cthulhu and Tears in Rain sit at the top end of the scale at V9-10. Carson Langmack is the first ascender of several of these routes. Summer is the warmest window for a visit. July typically reaches highs around 83°F with lows near 48°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Boulder. That station sits about 1,100 feet below the area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Winter is cold, with January highs averaging around 35°F. Nearby, the Wilson Creek hike and Hay Canyon Road mountain biking route are both within about six miles. The Boulder River offers paddling, and McCarthy Gulch is another mountain biking option at a similar distance.
