Bone Mountain is a climbing area in Vermont, about 2 miles from the town of Bolton Valley. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas, with The Main Cliff, Middle Cliff Routes and Left End all within about a quarter mile. The routes here are all traditional, and the grade range runs from 5.7 up to 5.10d, with the hardest of them, Audacious, at 5.10d. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 58°F, and the station sits well below the mountain, so temperatures on the cliff run cooler. The Catamount Trail passes about 1.4 miles away, and the Winooski River offers fishing about 2 miles off. Little River State Park, roughly 3.7 miles away, has camping, and the Camp Loop mountain biking route is about 1.7 miles from the mountain.
