Fred 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 Font Boulder each about 0.1 mile away and the Split Rock Trail mountain biking route at a similar distance. The area's six bouldering routes run from V1-2 up to V10, with the hardest, Conquest of the Irrational, first climbed by Luke Parady. Crimp Face is the easiest, and Scoop Arete and Comme a la Maison sit in the V5 to V7 range. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Woonsocket weather station 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.
