Learning Boulder is a bouldering area in West Virginia's Snake Hill Wildlife Management Area, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of other bouldering spots, including Exhibition Boulder, Lost in Moss Boulder and Karate Kid Boulder, all about 0.1 mile away. The Ridge Trail also starts within a tenth of a mile. The climbing here is all bouldering, with six routes ranging from V0 to V2+. The easiest are Procrastination and Trigonometry, both V0, and the hardest is Instructor's Favorite at V2+. For timing, September is the most comfortable month, with typical highs around 77°F and lows near 56°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Morgantown. That station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Hikers can pair a session with the Ridge Trail or the Canyon Rim Trail, both within a mile.
