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

Very few people go here, but there are some good gear lines. Definitely head this way if main Bridge area is packed.

Getting There

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