Dice Boulders 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 Lay Me Down Area, 1st pull off and Fox Tail all about 0.1 mile away, and Darnell Hollow about 0.3 mile off. The area is a compact, close-together set of boulders rather than a long route, and the climbing is all bouldering, with 19 routes ranging from V0 to V5. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. 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. Several other climbing areas sit right next door, and the trails within a few miles make it easy to pair a day on the rocks with a walk. Johnson Hollow Trail is about 2 miles away, and Ken's Run Trail, Glade Run Trail and Lick Run Trail are all within about 2.6 miles.
