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

Climb the steep, slabby face past three bolts to anchors or on up to the Rainbow Ledge. Really nice slab moves with a good rest in the middle. You can get a thin piece of gear (I used a #3 stopper) in a horizontal before the first bolt to make you feel better making those first steep moves. Great line!
