Endless Wall. Fall view from Kaymoor. October, 200...


Description 

4.5 mi. of unbroken cliff line! Only access is by rappelling or ladders.

South facing but shaded by trees, the land above the cliff generally slopes away from the cliff, therefore there is very little runoff in this area, unlike most other NRG walls.

New River Gorge sandstone, bullet hard, awesome features, solid placements.

This area is not guided which makes it prefect for the traveling climber to get away from the crowds at Junkyard and The Bridge Area Crags.

Any climber looking to get away from crowds and get a full day NRG experience on some great bullet hard sandstone, placing gear and/or clipping bolts this is by far the place to come!


Getting There 

Take second right after bridge (heading north). Park at Fern Point trailhead (bottom of hill about 1 mi. from road).

Very few cliff breakdowns; access by ladders (Fern Point, Miner's ladders and Honeymooner's ladders) and rappel. Climbing out is also an option.
