Jungle Pond

Jungle Pond is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about 2 miles from the town of Escoheag. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with The New Beach and Farewell Boulder each about 0.2 miles away and Lookout Boulders about 0.3 miles off. The area is a compact, close-together set of boulders rather than a single route, and the climbing here is all bouldering, with grades ranging from V0-1 up to V6+. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Coventry run to highs around 71°F in May and 74°F in September, while July highs average about 85°F. The routes at Jungle Pond are all boulders, and the grade range covers a wide spectrum. The easiest are Bored in Borneo at V0-1 and Out of the Dark and Into the Light at V1+. Monkey Jump is V3, and Bubble Head is V4-. The hardest is Inshallah, a V6+ boulder with a first ascent by Dana Seaton. For a change from the rocks, the Deep Pond trail is about 0.3 miles away and the Tippecansett trail about 0.7 miles away.
