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
A cool cave with a variety of quality roof problems. This may be the driest area at the NRG, and is a great "last resort" for anyone seeking dry rock during a downpour, or for anyone looking for great roof climbing.
In addition to the described problems here, there is a very good left-to-right rail traverse along the back of the cave. The entire line is maybe v3/5.11+, and is an excellent warmup if you're looking to get on some of the harder problems.

Getting There
Approac through the regular gated dirt road for all of Beauty. Just past the dropoff cliff to your left, keep an eye out for a faint, steep trail that winds down under the cliff. This will take you underneath the small Garbage Wall cliff (there are a few routes here that few people ever do). Just past Garbage Wall, round a corner and be prepared to gaze in awe at the massive cave.
