Warm Up Ridge is a bouldering area in the Mono Lake Ranger District of Inyo National Forest in California, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with the Big Reach Arete Boulder, Warm Up Boulder and Muffin Tops Boulder all about 0.1 mile away, and the Hartley Spur Trail also within a tenth of a mile. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically July and August, when typical averages from a nearby weather station at Mammoth Lakes run to highs around 78°F and lows near 49°F. That station sits about 430 feet lower than the ridge, so temperatures here run a little cooler. The area has two bouldering problems, both rated V-easy. Problem A and Problem B are the routes to look for.
