Name Plate Boulder is a climbing area in the La Madre Mountain Wilderness, on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Red Rock/Sloan Field Office in Nevada. The surrounding land is wilderness, so the rules for the area apply across the whole unit. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 70°F in April to about 75°F in October, while July and August average in the mid-90s and winter lows hover near freezing. Several other climbing areas sit right next to it, including Willow Springs Boulders about 0.1 mile away and Big Brown Boulder (aka Brown Round) and Shit House Boulder at about 0.2 mile. Lost Creek Trail is also about 0.2 mile away.
