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

Area to the west of Bridge Buttress. This area sees little action but only because of its slow drying time, and "long" walk in (10 min)
You should plan on carrying a spider wand up each climb with you in this area.
There are tons of fun corners and flake systems that range in height from 30-75 ft. Most of the ratings are from 5.7-5.10d

Getting There

Same as for bridge buttress, but continue west on trails just above the road.
