Moab Rim Trail Boulders is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Moab Field Office in Utah, about 0.6 miles from the Moab Rim Trail and 0.4 miles from the climbing area The Scar. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots in Moab, with King's Bottom Campground and the Moonflower Canyon Trail both within a mile. The boulders here are the main draw. The area holds nine bouldering routes, all rated from V0 to V7 on the V scale, with the easiest at V0 and the hardest at V7. Among the named routes are Chilly Down (V0), Babe with the Power (V2) and Sisyphus's Sister (V7). The routes are all bouldering, so there is no climbing on rock faces. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Moab show April highs around 72°F and October highs around 74°F, while July averages near 99°F and January lows drop to about 21°F. Other nearby spots include the Mars climbing area, the Slickrock Bike Trail and Jaycee Park Campground.
