Raven Rocks is a bouldering area in Ohio, about 2 miles from the town of Crabapple. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Electric Rain Boulders, High Point boulders and Low Point Boulders all within about a tenth of a mile. The area is a compact, close-together set of boulders rather than a single route, and the climbing here is all bouldering, with grades ranging from V1 to V7. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Barnesville run from highs around 72°F in May to about 76°F in September, with July the warmest at about 83°F. The routes here are all boulders, and the grade range is V1 to V7. Among the named ones are Giddy Up at V1, Helix at V5 and The Blood Of Gaia at V7. The East Rim Trail and West Rim Trail are both about 8 miles away for a hike after the climbing.
