Iron Boulder

Iron 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 Beyond Summit Area, Lincoln Woods and The Pinnacle all within about a tenth of a mile. The area has nine bouldering routes, all rated from V0 to V5 on the V scale. The easiest are Left Arete at V0 and Around the Corner at V1, while Breaking the Mold is the hardest at V5. The routes are all bouldering, so there is no climbing on rock faces. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woonsocket show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. Olney Pond, a lake fishing spot, is about half a mile away. The Woonasquatucket River offers river fishing roughly 4 miles off.
