The "Lost" Boulder is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about a mile from the town of Escoheag. It is a cluster of boulders with 12 routes, all rated on the V scale from V1 to V11-12, so it suits climbers looking for a range of bouldering challenges in one spot. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Coventry run from highs around 71°F in May to about 74°F in September, with July the warmest at about 85°F. The routes here are all boulders, and the grade range spans from the easiest V1 to the hardest V11-12. Among the named routes are Bald Headed Freak at V1, Notochord at V6, and Sub Zero at V11-12. The Arcadia Management Area and The Penny Hill Boulders are both within about two miles, and Breakheart Pond offers fishing roughly 3.6 miles away.
