Font Boulder

Font Boulder is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about a mile from Saylesville Highlands. It sits among a cluster of climbing and mountain biking spots, with Heart Boulder and Lower Heart just 0.1 mile away and Roll Into It a similar distance off. The boulders here are the main draw, and the routes are all rated in the V4 to V8 range on the V scale. The climbing area has five boulder problems, with grades from V4 to V8. French Postcard is the easiest at V4, and Napoleon is the hardest at V8. The routes are all bouldering, so there is no rope climbing to plan for. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woonsocket show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while winter brings highs in the upper 30s and a few snowy days a month from December through February. Olney Pond, a lake fishing spot, is about half a mile away, and the Woonasquatucket River offers river fishing roughly 4 miles off.
