Pine Ridge Boulders is a bouldering area in Ohio, about 1.8 miles from the town of Crabapple. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Balancing Rock and Squirrel Stew Boulder each about 0.1 mile away and Electric Rain Boulders about 0.3 mile off. The area is a compact, close-together set of boulders rather than a single route, and the three named routes here run from V2 to V4. The most comfortable climbing weather typically comes in late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Barnesville show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. The three routes at Pine Ridge Boulders are all boulders. Pine Nuts and Sappy are both V2, and Mr. Crum’s Green Thumb is V4. All were first ascended by Ray Weber. For more climbing in the area, High Point boulders and Covid Cave are each about 0.4 mile away. The East Rim Trail and West Rim Trail, both about 8.5 miles off, offer hiking nearby.
