Easter Island Boulder

Easter Island Boulder is a bouldering area in New Jersey's Ramapo Valley County Reservation, a county-managed land unit in the state's Ramapo Valley. The name comes from the boulder that gives the area its name. The bouldering is entirely on boulder problems, with six routes spread across the V0 to V4 range on the V scale. The hardest are backside and Civilization at V4, and the easiest are Falling Peter and Standard at V0. The Easter Island route sits at V3. The closest neighbors are Sector 2 and Quarantine, both about 0.1 mile away. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. That station sits a few hundred feet below the boulders, so temperatures on the rocks run a little cooler. Other nearby climbing is found at Sector 2 and Quarantine, and the Yellow Trail and Yellow-Silver Trail hikes are within a mile. Paddlers can reach the Wanaque River about 4.7 miles away.
