Rocky Glen Pond is a bouldering area on County of Westchester land in New York, sitting about 0.2 miles from Blue Mountain Park. It's a cluster of 10 boulder problems on the Westchester side of the state, and the closest of the county's climbing areas to the Croton River. The county manages the land. The boulders here sit within a short distance of other outdoor spots. Switchback is a hike and Lower Stinger and Debacle are mountain biking routes, all about 0.1 mile away. Blue Mountain Park is 0.2 mile off. The climbing is bouldering only, with all 10 routes rated on the V scale from V0- up to V4. The easiest are Easy Money at V0- and Dat Crack at V0, and the hardest is Matter of Time at V4. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring through early fall, when typical averages from the nearby Shrub Oak weather station run from highs around 71°F in May to about 84°F in July.
