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 up an easy flake to a high first bolt, moving via more friable flakes to a precarious stance under a roof. Make the crux move over the roof, and cruise up dirtier rock to the anchors.
Location
This is the farthest left of the climbs on Government Buttress, a stately prow of slab and vertical Nuttall Sandstone that juts out toward the New River from the otherwise chossy cliffband of Cotton Club. Look for an obvious "air conditioner" corner crack that separates the buttress from the main cliffline.
