Tacoma is a bouldering area in Washington, about 1.7 miles from the city of Tacoma. It sits close to the city center, making it an easy stop for climbers who want to get out quickly. The area has one bouldering route, Coarse and Buggy 2: Full Coarse Power, which is a V3 boulder problem. That single route gives climbers a short, focused session on a single boulder. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 77°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the upper 40s and rain on most days. Several other climbing areas lie within a short drive. Point Defiance Park is about 6 miles away, and Wilson Way Bridge Boulder and Spire Rock are both within about 7 miles. For a walk, the Eastern Border Trail is about 2 miles off.
