5th Pull Off (School Bus Area) is a bouldering area in Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with School Yard, Micro Bus Boulder and Giant's Slab Boulder all about 0.1 mile away. The area is a bouldering destination, with 31 routes listed, all of them boulders. The grades range from V0 to V9, with the median at V3. Some of the named routes include Symphony at V0, Hinge Slab at V2, Quint's Revenge at V6 and Mr. Gnomerson at V9. For timing, September is a comfortable month, with typical highs around 76°F and lows near 54°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Lake Lynn. That station sits about 664 feet lower than the pull-off, so temperatures here run cooler. Winter brings regular snow days, with about four in January.
