The Warm-Up Wall is a bouldering area in Tennessee's Obed Wild & Scenic River Fee, managed by a non-governmental organization. It sits among several other climbing spots, with K.B. Boulder, Jr.'s Corner and Muscle Block all about 0.1 mile away. The area is a cluster of bouldering problems, with nine routes listed and all of them rated on the V scale. The easiest are Hot Dog and Tipsey at V0, and the hardest is Bering Straits at V8. Tennessee Jed is a V4. The range from V0 to V8 gives climbers a full spectrum of challenges in one small corner of the fee. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 69°F in April to 70°F in October, with July peaking near 86°F. The Boulder Trail and Lilly Bridge Trail are both within half a mile, and Rock Creek Campground (TN) is about 4 miles away.
