Top bouldering picks for April
Val di Mello
Ghiandone granite in a high Lombardy valley. The snowpack clears by April, before the Alpine thunderstorm season, and the season runs on into autumn.

Forest sandstone boulders south of Paris. September is the pick, and the spring-to-summer run from April is the other steady window between wet winters.
See 30 years of weather data →Rocklands
Cederberg sandstone that lives on cold, dry air. September and October are the window: the winter cold-front rain has closed but afternoons are still cool enough for good friction.
