White Monster Boulder is a climbing area in North Carolina, about 1.4 miles from the town of Moores Springs. It sits among a cluster of bouldering spots, with North End Boulderfield and Plafond Boulder each about 0.1 mile away and Valley Boulderfield about 0.3 mile off. The area is close to the Moores Wall Loop Trail, a hike about 0.9 mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury show October highs around 70°F with lows near 47°F, and April is similar at about 70°F by day and 44°F at night. That station sits roughly 760 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Other nearby climbing includes Warmup Boulder, about 0.3 mile away. For time on foot, the Indian Creek Trail is also about 0.9 mile off. Paddlers can reach the Little Yadkin River, about 8.7 miles away.
