Lost in Moss 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, Learning Boulder and Junction Boulders, all about 0.1 mile away, and the Ridge Trail, also about 0.1 mile off. The area's six bouldering problems range from V0 to V4-5, with the median grade around V3+. Anger Management Problem and Balancing Act are the hardest, at V4-5, while Mossy Not Chossy is the easiest at V0. Finding The Way and its sit-start variation offer a V2 and V3+ option. September is the most comfortable month to visit, with typical highs around 77°F and lows near 56°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Morgantown. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Summer is the wettest stretch, with July and August averaging about 11 to 12 wet days a month. The Cheat View Hike is about 0.8 mile away, and the Canyon Rim Trail and Northside Trail are both within a mile.
