How do I use a pry bar to move a boulder?
Move a Light-weight BoulderMove a boulder of 100 lbs. or less by using a pry bar as a lever. A pry bar is a metal bar 4- to 5-feet long, similar in appearance to a long crowbar. Slide the tip of the pry bar under the boulder, and use leverage to push down on the pry bar and move the boulder. Add a fulcrum for your lever by placing a smaller rock or even a solid block of wood at the midpoint of your pry bar and pushing down on the pry bar. If you are unable to completely move the boulder, lift it with the pry bar and fulcrum, and place a smaller rock under the lifted portion of the boulder. Reapply the downward pressure on the pry bar from another angle.
