Star Wars boulders is a bouldering area in the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with The Pasture about 0.1 mile away and The South Seas about 0.2 mile away. The boulders are all boulder problems, and the route list runs from V1 to V9. The easiest is Padmi Trainer at V1, and the hardest is Darth Vader at V9. The median grade is V5, so the area offers a range from beginner to advanced bouldering. Summer is the warmest time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Leavenworth show July and August highs around 87°F with lows near 50°F and only about three wet days a month. That station sits roughly 950 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures at the crag run cooler. The Rat Creek Ridge Trail and the Canyon Crest Trail both start about 0.4 mile away. For an overnight stay, Eightmile Group Site is about 4.6 miles off, and Peshastin Creek, a paddling spot, is about 5 miles away.
