Boulderwoods is a bouldering area in the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with Upper Measles Wall, Measles Walls and Over The Measles Wall all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with six routes spread across the V0 to V11 range. The easiest is Downclimb at V0, and the hardest is Man For All Seasons at V11. Chuck Norris Traverse runs V3-4, and Rostrum Arete is V1. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 75°F with lows near 54°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits about 440 feet lower than the area, so temperatures at Boulderwoods run a little cooler. For a walk nearby, Crane Mountain Path is about 0.2 mile away, and Round Pond Trail is about 2.8 miles off.
