Access Issue: NO DRONES ON NATIONAL PARKLANDS
Details
All of the crags within the New River Gorge proper are on national parklands, and drone use is prohibited here. There has been some discussion about places to launch drones that are not on park property, and then flying them over the gorge. This is super poor form; don't do it. Park regulations prohibit all drone use over the boundaries without a permit.
Description
Against the Grain climbs more like a boulder than a route, and consists of a short sequence of power pulling. Don't underestimate it, however, as it requires a healthy amount of core strength and pure burl ability.
Scramble up detached blocks to clip the first bolt (shared with Mojo Hand). Casual moves along big holds ease you into two bolts of easy roof flake climbing. A long move onto a sloped edge marks the beginning of the difficulty.
Shouldery gastons and crossovers along a small seam in the horizontal roof lead to a one-handed jug (which inexplicably seeps). The next crux section involves several huge reaches between surprisingly good holds. However, the feet are distressingly bad and/or absent.
Another powerful stab into a sloping seam, and then a core-intensive lurch for a sloper finally give way to some easier crimpy face and anchors.
