Tomato Ledges

Tomato Ledges is a bouldering area in Rhode Island, about a mile from Saylesville Highlands. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots and mountain bike trails, making it a compact destination for a single outing or a longer day on the rocks and wheels. The climbing here is all bouldering, with eight routes ranging from the easy V0 of Heirloom Tomato to the harder V4-5 of Jolly Roger. Most are in the V3 range. Little Tomato and Summit / Pinnacle Boulders are both within a tenth of a mile, and Split Rock Trail offers mountain biking at the same distance. For the most comfortable conditions, late spring and early fall are the sweet spots. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woonsocket show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with July warming to about 84°F. Winter brings regular snow days from December through February. Olney Pond, a lake fishing spot, is about half a mile away. The Woonasquatucket River, roughly 4 miles off, offers river fishing.
