The Roofs is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about 1.5 miles from the town of Smithfield. It sits among several other climbing areas, with Talus Area, Connors Farm and The Cirque all within about a tenth of a mile. That makes it easy to pair with a visit to one of the neighboring crags. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the routes run from V2 to V7. The easiest is Lee Press On Nails at V2, and the hardest is Sting Like A Bee at V7. Dave's Problem is a V5, and Fight Club is a V6. The area is small, so a single session can cover several problems. For a change from the rocks, the Stillwater Scenic Trail is about 1.2 miles away, and the Mary Mowry Trail (Green) is about 1.3 miles off. Paddlers can head to the Woonasquatucket River, roughly 2.4 miles away.
