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 on a hand crack and move into long moves to jugs. Mid route, navigate a wide section, then finish by utilizing horizontal holds and any kind of finger jamming you can manage. This is a short route, but every bit as classic as the surrounding lines at Orchard.
Location
The wide crack just left of Hysteria.
Protection
This route will take everything from 6 to .4. However, with good management, you could probably get away with 4 - .4. Doubles in the .75 - .4 range will give you lots of options. 2 bolt anchor with rings to the left of the crack at the top.
