Make Due is a bouldering area in Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among several other named climbing areas, including Watch Top, Eye Brow Boulders and Step Roof, all about 0.1 mile away, and Creekside Boulder at 0.2 mile. That makes it an easy cluster to explore in one visit. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the five routes listed run from V1- to V3. Some of the names, like "Chalk is not necessary" and "No Chalk No Problem," hint at the style of the holds, while "Crimp Pop" and "Ms. Sandy" are among the boulders on the higher end of the scale. For a change from the rocks, the Clay Furnace Trail lies about a mile away, and the Rhododendron Trail and Mont Chateau Trail are each about 1.1 miles off.
