Aircraft X was handed off to me at 6000 ft; IFR but non-radar. The transferring controller advised me that they were not in radio communication with Aircraft X. I called back and had them transmit in the blind for the aircraft to climb to 8000 ft for the MVA (Minimum Vectoring Altitude). I started to pick up Aircraft X just as he crossed into the 7000 ft MVA area and could see that the aircraft was climbing out of 6200 ft.
ZDV Center Controller reported receiving a NORDO aircraft that wasn't in radar coverage below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude.
