Star Wars Boulder is a bouldering area within Rib Mountain State Park in Wisconsin, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The name Star Wars Boulder sets a whimsical tone, and the park itself is a destination with several climbing areas clustered close together. For bouldering, the route grades here sit in the V1 to V3 range, with five routes all listed as boulders. Jedi Mind Trick and Queen Amidala are both V3, and Jedi Mind Trick was first ascended by Remo. Summer is the warmest stretch, with typical July highs around 80°F and lows near 59°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Wausau. Winters are cold, with January highs typically in the low 20s. Other climbing areas lie just steps away, including Tower Warmup Area, Pimpin' Wall and Jurassics, all about 0.1 mile off. Granite Peak Ski Area is within half a mile.
