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 great line that would benefit from a little more traffic. A trad climbers sport route. Climb the large broken rock to gain the left slanting overhanging wide crack. Good hand jams deep in the crack to reach the high first bolt. Use the crack to gain the steep face and then figure out the sequence to get you through the corner. Face moves on dirty rock to the shuts. As of 7/07, there is a large dead tree looming above the final portion, it doesn't affect the climbing, but you will notice it!
