North Parking Lot Boulders is a bouldering area in Nevada on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Humboldt River Field Office. It is a small cluster of boulders rather than a large crag, and all the routes are boulder problems. The bouldering here is straightforward, with five problems ranging from V1 to V6. The easiest is the unnamed V1, and the hardest is Knuckle Buster at V6. Bronx Vanilla and Knuckle Up sit around V4, so climbers can choose a range from easy to challenging. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the Gerlach, Nevada weather station, about 21 miles away, show May highs around 75°F and October highs near 70°F, while July highs average about 95°F.
