Lone Rock Bouldering is a bouldering area in Vermont, about 1.2 miles from Bernard J Leddy Park. It sits right beside Main Cliff, a climbing area just 0.1 mile away, and the Lone Rock Point Trail, a hike of the same distance. The bouldering here is all on the bouldering scale, with grades ranging from V0- to V4, and the routes are best suited to climbers who enjoy working on small, close-up problems. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Burlington show June highs around 78°F and September highs around 73°F, with snow days common from December through March. Nine bouldering routes make up the area, with the easiest being Easy Access at V0- and the hardest, Wet Crimps, at V4. Girl Dawg and Monkey Palm Traverse are both V2 and were first ascended by Rhododendron in 2018.
