Dundee Railroad is a bouldering area in Beach City Wildlife Area in Ohio, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits within the wildlife area, and the closest climbing neighbors are Big Wall and the Beach City Wildlife Area climbing area, both about a mile away. The area has five boulder problems, all rated between V2 and V4+, with the median at V4. The routes are Warm Up (V2), Una Pierna (V3), Killroy (V4), Beneath The Bow (V4+) and Far for the Short (V4+). Chantz Petrie is listed as the first ascender for all of them. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets.
