Man Size is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land in Utah's Price Field Office, about 10 miles from Castle Dale. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with Black and Tan just 0.2 miles away and Boy Size (Provo Area) 0.3 miles off, making it easy to pair with other bouldering in the same corner of the state. The area holds 50 boulder problems, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V13. The median grade is V4, and the hardest route listed is Finger Hut Direct at V13. Among the named problems are Little Knives (V0), The Clap (V1), Michelangelo (V3) and Slow Loris (V5), with Dyno Time Low at V7-. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Castle Dale weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 68°F, while July averages climb to about 91°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Nearby options include Roans Canyon, a hike about 3 miles away, and Joes Valley Pavilion Group Campground, about 6 miles off. Grassy Lake Fishing Site and Huntington Creek, a paddling spot, are both within about 10 miles.
