Geneva Hills is a bouldering area in Ohio, about 1.3 miles from the community of Pine Lake Estates. It is a compact climbing destination with six boulder problems, all rated between V3 and V7 on the V scale, and it works well as a short stop for climbers who want to pair a session on the rocks with a walk nearby. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lancaster run from highs around 74°F in May to about 78°F in September, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. The boulder routes at Geneva Hills include Cloaca (V3), Coelacanth (V3) and Humility (V7). Turtle Cave Traverse is a V4, and Fish Taco is a V3. For a longer outing, the Rhododendron Cove Blue Loop Trail is about 1.3 miles away, and the Ridge Trail and Twin Lakes Trail are each about 2 miles off. Climbers looking for more rock can head to Junkyard Wall, roughly 6 miles away.
