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
Green Envy features some long bouldery moves split by good shakes.
Begin by navigating through some chossy ledges to a short overhanging arete feauture. The crux moves hit you right off the bat as you battle up a couple edges to a decent hold just below the head wall. Pulling on to the head wall is very bouldery. The beginning of the headwall involves lots of long powerful traversing moves. The climbing lets up a little as you progress up the headwall, but the moves remain reachy. Enjoy nice pockets and edges on fine stone.
Recommend stick clipping the second bolt.
