S&M Boulder is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about 1.5 miles from the town of Spragueville. It sits among several other climbing areas, with Talus Area, Second Talus Area and The Cirque all within about a tenth of a mile, so it works well as a stop in a cluster of bouldering spots. The area has nine bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V1- to V6. The easiest is Beginner's Guide to S&M at V1-, and the hardest is Fun Dungeon at V6. Hook and Dabber and Out The Backdoor are both V4, and the first ascent of the latter was done by Dan Lacker. For a change from the rocks, the Stillwater Scenic Trail and Mary Mowry Trail (Green) are both within about a mile and a half. Paddlers can head to the Woonasquatucket River, about 2.4 miles away.
