Stigmata Boulder is a bouldering area in North Carolina, about 2 miles from the town of Capella. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Robotto Boulder and Circus Roof Boulder each about 0.1 mile away and Two Mile Boulderfield about 0.2 mile off. The closest hike is Torys Den Trail, also about 0.2 mile away. The area has five bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale. The easiest are The Diamond and The Diamond Left at V2, and the hardest is Stigmata at V10, which was first climbed by Sundev Lohr. The Guinea Hen & the Gilliam is a V3, and Darkness Arete is a V5. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury run from highs around 70°F in April and October to about 87°F in July. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler.
