Improbable Boulder is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about 0.8 miles from Saylesville Highlands. It sits among a cluster of climbing and mountain biking spots, with Dam Wall, Lodi's Warmup and Summit Boulders all within about a tenth of a mile. The area has nine bouldering routes, ranging from V1 to V11. The easiest is Improbability Theory, a V1 boulder problem first climbed by Joe McLoughlin, and the hardest is Apollo 1 at V11. Other routes include Jack Frost at V2 and Red Rocket Stand at V6. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Woonsocket weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while July runs warmer at about 84°F. Olney Pond, a lake fishing spot, is about 0.4 miles away, and the Woonasquatucket River offers river fishing about 4 miles off.
