Warm-Up Boulder is a climbing area in Lory State Park in Colorado, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as a stop in a day of bouldering or a longer visit to the park. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 56°F, while winter highs stay around 40°F. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the park, so temperatures at the boulders run cooler. Arthur's Rock, Snake and the Skewer and Drunken Master Boulder all lie about 0.1 mile away, and the Westridge Trail for mountain biking is about 0.2 mile off. For a change of pace, the Cache la Poudre River offers canoeing about 5 miles away.
