Description 

The furthest down the road of the main areas at Coopers. A bit more crowded than Tilted Tree or Roadside, especially with non-climber tourist hikers, who love to ask you questions.


Getting There 

Drive to the end of the road, to where there is a concessionaire stand and a turnaround/parking area. Hike to the left of the building, staying to the right of the main overlook trails. Shortly, you will see an obvious break through a cliffline, which has some slab steps set into it. This will take you down to the Rattlesnake Trail, which runs along most of the great bouldering areas here.

Ship's Prow V5  WV : Coopers Rock State Forest : ... : Tomb Raider Area
Start way back in the cave, using hard feet, body tension, and knowledge of where the good incuts are in the sea of chalked holds. Make a big move to a good undercling on a flexing flake, get to the lip of the roof, then a big move to the top. Stout for the grade....[more]   Browse More Classics in WV
