Little Tomato

Little Tomato is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about 0.7 miles from Saylesville Highlands. It sits among a cluster of climbing and mountain biking spots, with Tomato Ledges and Tomato Boulder just 0.1 mile away and Split Rock Trail at a similar distance. The area is small and compact, so it works well as a short stop rather than a full-day outing. The climbing here is all bouldering, with seven routes spread across the V0 to V8 range. The hardest are Gun Powda and Power Harvest, both V8, and Indian Summer is V6. Mikey Likes It is V5, and the V0 route is unnamed. The boulders are the main draw, and the area is best suited to climbers who want to work on a range of grades in a single visit. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Woonsocket weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while July peaks near 84°F. Winter brings regular snow days, with January averaging about five. Beyond the climbing, Split Rock Trail and Roll Into It offer mountain biking within a quarter mile. Olney Pond, a lake fishing spot, is about 0.4 mile away.
