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 zone of Endless Wall is one of the nicest areas to bust out your trad rack. It hosts some really nice routes including The Undeserved, Back With My Kind, Cellibate Mallard, Roy's Lament, Hot Tuna, Tattoo and Lee Robinsons' bold direct start to The Underserved, Brisquet Back Direct.
It starts getting shade around 12 or 1 pm. It depends on the time of week or season to how crowded the area will be. The rock here, like he rest of Endless is of the finest of sandstone in the world.

Getting There
You can approach this cliff the fastest by rappelling in from the top. When you see the first overlook sign on your left go to the edge of the cliff and skirt down a little chimney, eventually breaking left to a two bolt station (The Underserved anchors). Make sure you be careful not to kick any loose rock down below you. This approach requires a little exposed down climbing so be careful.
The recomended way is to approach from the Cirque, Jacobs Ladder or Honey Mooners Ladder.Again, it is imperitive you do not kick any loose rock down below you when rappelling in from above! Also make sure no one is leading up The Undeserved so you don't rap in on someone while they are on the sharp end.
