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
This route starts with insecure off-fingers in a steep dihedral. Eventually you get a little stance around the corner on the face, before pulling what some folks consider the crux– blind handjams out a small roof with mediocre feet. Follow the crack farther up, until it disappears. A devious and slightly heady face sequence guards the anchors and reminds you that this is not just a crack climb.
