West Side is a climbing area in Vermont, about a mile from the town of Bolton. It sits among several other climbing spots in the area, so it works well as a base for exploring the cluster of crags close to town. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Montpelier show September highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, while July highs reach about 82°F. Bat Wall, Bolton Dome and Railroad Yard all lie about 0.1 mile away. The Winooski River is under a mile off, and the Long Trail is about 1.8 miles away.
