Borderline Boulders is a bouldering area in Patricia Ann Byrom Forest Preserve Park in Virginia, about 3 miles from the town of Boonesville. The land is county-owned, and the boulders sit close to several other climbing areas and trails. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Free Union weather station show October highs around 69°F with lows near 43°F, and May highs near 74°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Deer Stand Boulders, Seasonal Creek Boulders and Right Streamside Boulders all lie within about a tenth of a mile. The Great Mountains Trail is also close by. For an overnight stay, Loft Mountain Campground is about 2 miles away.
