White Eyebrow Boulder is a bouldering area in West Virginia, about half a mile from the town of MacDougal. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots on the edge of the New River Gorge, with several other named areas within a few hundred yards. The five bouldering problems here run from V2 to V8, with grades V5 as the median. The White Eyebrow route is the most notable among them, and Tribe of Two Sheiks is the hardest, at V8. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 68°F. That station sits about half a mile away and runs a few hundred feet lower, so temperatures at the boulders run cooler. Hawk's Nest Proper and Lower New River Gorge Bouldering both lie about a tenth of a mile away, and Land of the Lost is about 0.2 miles off. For a walk, the Cliffside Trail is about 0.4 miles away.
