Residue Boulder is a bouldering area in the Ferris Lake Wild Forest in northern New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with the Lookout, Nick Stoner and Wall Boulder areas all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes listed across the V0 to V3 range. Residue Arete is the easiest at V0, and Digweed and Dunfer are both V1. The hardest are Digweed, Var. and Residue of Me, both V3. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July typically brings highs around 77°F and lows near 56°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Gloversville. Winter is far colder, with January highs around 24°F.
