Bouldering is a bouldering area on State Game Land 211 in Pennsylvania, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among several other climbing areas, with Main Wall and Boxcar Rocks (Chinese Wall) each about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 10 routes on record. Grades run from V0 to V3+, and the easiest are Arete Eliminate and Murderball, both V0. The hardest is The Undertow at V3+. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Dehart Dam show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 75°F, though that station sits well below the bouldering area, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Pine-Meadow Trail is about 0.3 mile away, and the Summit Siding Rail-Trail is about 1.4 miles off. Echo Valley and Conglomerate A, both about 7 miles away, offer more climbing.
