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

Home to some classic NRG trad lines including Chasin' the Wind(5.11b)and Air(5.11a).

Getting There

The next section of rock walking upstream from the 5) Burning Buttress. Once you reach the extremly large roof in which Air lies, the Thunder Buttress section of the cliff starts.
