The Ivy Wall

The Ivy Wall is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about 2 miles from the town of Arcadia. It sits among several other climbing spots, including Main Wall and Mt. Tom, which are each about 0.1 mile away, and Trailside (The Scoop and the Pine Line area), also about 0.1 mile off. The area is a cluster of boulder problems, with nine routes in total, all rated on the V scale from V0- to V3+. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the grades run from the easiest V0- up to V3+. Easy Rider is the lowest, and Edge Line is the hardest. Full Time Adventure Travelers, a V1, was first climbed by Mark Sprague, and Fly Paper, a V2-3, was first climbed by Evan Lebras. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Coventry show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, while July averages about 85°F and January highs sit near 36°F. For a change from the rocks, the Brooke Trail and Shawn's Eagle are both about a mile away. The Wood River, a fishing spot, is about 1.6 miles off, and Breakheart Pond is about 2.7 miles away.
