Description 

In general the crags on this side of the gorge are sunny, dry and have an earlier history than those of the South side. As a function of being climbed from an earlier date there are many more established routes on this side of the river than on the South side.

Areas include (upstream to downstream)










This side of the gorge is a great place to come on a cool day, rainy day, shady day, morning, evening, or after soem rainy days.


Getting There 

North Side of the gorge, across the bridge from Fayetteville.

Featured Route For North Side
Reaching for the clip... <br /> <br />Photo by BRuss

Sheer Energy 5.11a  WV : New River Gorge : ... : Central Bubba
Climb up an overhanging face passing 2 bolts and horizontals with great holds. Pull up on to a low angle stance to reach a crack in a short dihedral. Climb the crack to the end and pull a small overhang(crux). Head slightly right and then straight up to reach the shuts at the top of the cliff. This route is excellent the entire way. Feels somewhat like a trad route. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in WV

So I just discovered roped soloing with a minitraxion... Anyone have any recommendations of routes with anchors right at the top of the cliffline that would be easy to fix by myself?
So far my list is Legacy, and the two routes (11a, 10a) just right of the honeymoon ladders.
Anyone wanna contribute to the list? Maybe the lines just left of jesus and tequila??

Ill add Sacrilege (12b), Raging Waters (11a), Fine motor control (12a), and Jesus and Tequila (12a). Though J&T wandered a bit and felt like it needed a few directionals for the overhang anyhow.

new world order and Bullet the new sky were no good. Anchors well below the top, and the top was sloping with loose rocks and pebbles....
