While on a left downwind for the visual approach (Runway 23) into CRW; we received a GPWS Pullup alert. The lowest noted AGL altitude was around 1;100 feet during the approach. We were aware of the mountainous terrain; the Captain selected the FAF attitude in the altitude sector once we were cleared for the visual. Sloping terrain set off the GPWS alert as we descended roughly 1;000 FPM.Perhaps a note in company pages would be a good way to remind crews who are on the visual.
Air carrier First Officer reported receiving a GPWS 'Pull up' alert on a visual approach to CRW Runway 23.
