Tinkerbell Boulder is a bouldering area in Ohio, about 0.7 miles from the town of Limestone City. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Block Yard Boulders, Trash Shoot Wall and Rusty Ravine all within about a tenth of a mile. The area has seven boulder problems, all rated V0 or V1 on the V scale. The easiest is I Believe In You at V0, and the hardest is Never Leave Neverland at V1. Tinker Toes and Tick Tock Traverse are also V1 and V1-2. The routes are all boulders, so there is no climbing on rope. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Springfield run from highs around 63°F in April to about 78°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. Cj Brown Dam And Reservoir, about 6.8 miles away, offers lake fishing. Inman Trail and Pine Forest Trail are both about 8 miles off for hiking.
