New York City Bouldering is the most complete and up-to-date guide. It contains 841 problems (including 21 projects) in the range V0 to V13, ranging from Central Park in Manhattan all the way to Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx (and one boulder in Queens). All the boulders are accessible by public transportation. Whether you are a new climber who is looking for their first outdoor experience or a seasoned boulderer looking for a project, climbing in the city has a certain allure that is quite unique and different from most crags. All of the rock in Manhattan is schist. Van Cortlandt Park contains Fordham Gneiss, which might just be the best rock in the city. Pelham Bay Park even has some granite. We have taken special care documenting the eliminates, link-ups, and variations in Central Park South, making it as clear as possible which holds are on and off route and where the climbs go. Additionally, 40% of the routes include beta videos. Crash pads and spotters are the ideal protection and are highly recommended though there are some very lowball boulders that could be safe climbing on alone with a crash pad. Enjoy!
