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

5.11 and 5.12 trad and sport lines can be found at this crag that provides quality, scary routes, and shade. Definitly a worthwhile stop if you are cragging at Fern Buttress.
