Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Lake Lynn, WV, 3.6 mi away at 900 ft. The station sits about 700 ft lower than this place, so expect it a little cooler here. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020.

Ganja Bloc, also known as Moon Board, 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 areas, with Waiting Room/Campfire, Darkside East and School Yard all about 0.1 mile away. The area holds 13 boulder routes, all rated from V2-3 up to V10-. The median grade is V5, and the hardest route, The Yoke, is a V10. Moonboard Warmup is a V4, and The Chute is a V5. Andrew Leich first climbed several of these routes, including The Yoke, in April 2018. For timing, September is the most 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 700 feet lower than the bloc, so temperatures here run cooler. Hikers can pair a session with Johnson Hollow Trail, about 1.5 miles away, or Ken's Run Trail, about 1.9 miles away.
