Stone Church is a bouldering area in Ohio, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources and set within the Tri-valley Wa land unit. It is a cluster of boulders rather than a single climb, with 21 boulder problems spread across the site. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the grades run from V0 up to V8. The easiest route is Jeff's Thingy at V0, and the hardest is White Noise Sit at V8. Crimp City is a V2- boulder with a first ascent in 2009, and Amoeba is a V4 boulder with a first ascent by Clay Hand. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable seasons. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 76°F, with July peaking near 83°F. Mollies Rock is about 4 miles away, and Brady's Bluff is about 8 miles away. Paddlers can head to Little Wakatomika Creek, about 8 miles off, and Dillon Lakeside is about 10 miles away.
