Le Vent Boulder

Rhode Island > Arcadia Managem… > Mt Tom

Description

Gorgeous low-ball boulder with fun powerful movement housing the classic La Vent de Mai.

Getting There

(15-20 min approach): To get to this boulder from the Mt. Tom parking along Rt 165 (get your car far off the road) follow the white blaze trail  south, up the hill (past the roadside wall on your right) and continue on that trail, back down, and eventually up to another small incline. You'll know you're still good when you see stone chairs at the top of this second hill. Keep continuing on the trail until you see a trad wall on your right (30' tall) and continue on the trail slightly past that wall until you see an unmarked trail to your left. Follow that trail and continue straight, bushwhacking for about 150 yard until you see Le Vent on the left of the small hill.

It may be a little quicker coming from the south from the parking on Mt. Tom rd by the river, in which case the turnoff is a little after the blazed trail passes above the walls of the main cliff.

[Hide Comment] For other navigationally-challenged people, the bushwhack off the main trail starts at 41°34'6" N 71°43'55" W and the boulder is at 41°34'9" N 71°43'55" W. The current pin was a little off on my phone. Oct 29, 2023
