Ronski Feint is a bouldering area in West Virginia, about half a mile from the community of Ames Heights. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Tuggin' Shack, Interp Boulders and the Moe Area all within about a tenth of a mile. The Burnwood Trail also passes close by, making it easy to pair a bouldering session with a walk. The area is a bouldering destination, with five routes all rated on the V scale. The grades run from V4 to V8, and the names include White Boy Bob, Honky, Mad Hatter, Ronski Feint and Tiki Torch. The route named Ronski Feint is a V7 boulder, and it was first climbed by Matt Brewer. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 78°F, with lows in the upper 40s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock may run slightly cooler.
