Flannigan Boulder is a bouldering area in Utah, about 6 miles from the town of North View. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with the Graveside Matter Wall and the Rappel Wall Area both about 0.1 mile away and the Blowhard Trail at a similar distance. The area has 15 bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V10. The easiest is Bremesis at V0, and the hardest is Psychological Disorder at V10. The median grade is V4, so the range runs from easy to challenging. Zach Bradford and Casey Webb are among the climbers who have first ascents on some of the routes. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cedar City show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 85°F. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. The Virgin River Rim Trail is about 1.7 miles away, and Deer Haven campground is about 3 miles off. Farther out, Coal Creek offers canoeing about 6.5 miles away, and Navajo Lake is about 8.7 miles away.
