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

NOT to be confused with Fern Buttress, which is just downstream. Equal concentration of classic sport and trad lines-- bring the rack and the stickclip! The world-class Mellifluous Boulder is just below this section of cliffline, too, with some amazing hard boulder problems.

Getting There

Use Fern Point Ladders accessible from fern point trailhead. Head east(right) along cliff, it is all Fern Point until you finally reach a Cirque at which you transfer into Fern Point Cirque.
