Bouldering in Central Park

May 16, 2007

Spring has finally come to NYC, so instead of going to the rock climbing gym, we have been bouldering in Central Park. There are a few different rocks that you can climb throughout the park. We enjoy this spot, called Rat Rock, as does virtually every other climber in the city. Lucky for us we had the rock to ourselves on Sunday. Rat Rock is in the south of the park with great views of all the hotels and residences of Central Park South. Alex & I use to climb at another easier rock, but lately I am finally able to do some of the climbs at Rat Rock. We are now in the market for a crash pad, as the drop from the top of this rock is a bit rough on the feet for my liking. Although, not far enough to do any real damage, so don’t worry all you parents out there.

We have an extra pair of womens and mens rock climbing shoes if anyone ever wants to come out and join us!
