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
This climb has lots of thin moves and some friable rock, but it's well worth doing. Start by climbing up on the right side of the arete. Stay on the right face for a few thin moves and then head back left toward the arete. From here, use small footholds and crimps on the right side of the arete aiming for a small horizontal crack (crux). Once you reach the horizontal, look to the left side of the arete for positive crimps and climb the arete to the finish.
