Central Ohio is a bouldering area in Ohio, about a mile from the town of Rain Rock. It is a small cluster of boulders with four named routes, all of them bouldering, and the grades range from V2 to V8. The highest of them, Bobcat, is a V8, and the rest sit in the V2 to V4 range. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Newark run from highs around 73°F in May to about 76°F in September, with September seeing the fewest wet days of the year. The closest climbing is at Genesis Wall and East Side Boulders, about 8 miles away, and Poison Ivy Wall ("The Cave") is a similar distance. Paddlers can head to Rocky Fork, about a mile off, or Wakatomika Creek, roughly 6 miles away.
