The Cobra is a bouldering area in Vermont's Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, within the Manchester Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land. The name comes from the climbing spot itself, and it sits right alongside two other climbing areas, Breadloaf and United States of Banana, each about a tenth of a mile away. The routes here are all bouldering, and the grade range runs from V0 up to V8. The easiest are Burger, Slither and Snake Replication, all V0, while Tricksey Hobbitses is V5 and Cobra Kai is V8. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 75°F with lows near 56°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Peru, Vermont. Winter is much colder, with January highs around 27°F and lows near 8°F. Nearby, the Spruce Peak hike is about 1.2 miles away, and Bromley Shelter campground is about 1.7 miles off. The Appalachian Trail and Long Trail pass about 2.4 miles from the area.
