Step Roof is a climbing area in Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Creekside Boulder, Eye Brow Boulders and Make Due all about 0.1 mile away. September is a comfortable time 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 567 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. For a change from bouldering, the Clay Furnace Trail and Rhododendron Trail are both about a mile away, and the Mont Chateau Trail is also within a mile.
