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 is a really fun face climb that branches off to the right from Burning Calves. Climb BC up to the alcove stance, then make a traverse right. At a great horizontal/jug, place as much gear as you want (.3 and .4 camalots work well), then bust into the crux of classic NRG highsteps and reaches, followed by some bizarrely crimpy deadpoints. More moderate but still engaging climbing continues to the top anchors.
It is easy to get to the anchors of this from those of Burning Calves.
