Warm-up/Roses is a bouldering area in the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Beckey's Problem and The Labyrinth each about 0.1 mile away. The area holds eight bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V9. The easiest are Ditch Witch at V0 and Gymania at V1, while Black Roses is the hardest at V9. The Method Left and The Method Right are both V2. The GZA is a V5-6. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Leavenworth show July and August highs around 87°F with lows near 50°F and only about three wet days a month. That station sits roughly 460 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. The Tumwater Penstock Trail and Bear Trail are both about a mile away. Eightmile Group Site and Bridge Creek Group Site offer camping within about 4.5 miles.
