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

Amazing amphithreatre you reach walking East past Downstream Wall.

Great moderate trad lines and very difficult sports lines define this section of cliff.

The roof still needs a first free ascent. Currently rated 5.11d C1 The Monolith is, and will be a classic free or not.
