Blind Faith Boulder 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 Darnell Hollow just 0.1 mile away and Professor Boulder and Sunset Boulder each about 0.2 mile off. The area is a compact, close-together set of boulders, and the route named Blind Faith, a V7, is the hardest of the five listed here. The climbing is all bouldering, with five routes ranging from V3 to V7. Talking Dirty is the easiest at V3, and Blind Faith is the hardest at V7. Eagle's Wings, Twisted Koolade and Twisted Lemon are all V4. Zach Tanner is the first ascent listed for Eagle's Wings, Twisted Koolade and Twisted Lemon. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Lake Lynn weather station show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 76°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits about 644 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Hikers can find Johnson Hollow Trail about 1.8 miles away and Ken's Run Trail about 2.1 miles away.
