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 in a hand crack and climb up into a wide pod. Exit the pod following great finger locks and jams to reach a stance below a small overhang. Traverse left about 6 feet to join a thin crack. Climb the thin crack(crux). Be careful not to steal a key hold with gear. Once you've reached the bomber finger lock, continue up and right to reach the anchors. This route has a great variety of climbing from hand jams to thin face moves.
