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

A killer line through three roofs. I used to avoid this one because it didn't look like it was too solid in areas. However, after climbing it I must say that if you are in the area you should not pass it up.
