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
Start by climbing up the face about 6 feet to the left from directly under the dihedral using a few small but positive holds. Grab the base of the dihedral and layback for a move or two until it ends at a small overhang. Find a crimp above the overhang, make a reach to a positive hold up and right to gain a stance at the 3rd bolt. From here, move up and set up on a pair of crimps. Dyno to the positive horizontal ledge (crux). Clip the 4th bolt and it's smooth sailing to the shuts. Also, this route stays completely dry in the worst of rain, even when other routes at the Cirque may be wet at the top.
