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.
Access Issue: COVID 19 UPDATE: PLEASE FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF THE ACCESS FUND, AMERICAN ALPINE CLUB, NRAC, AND OTHERS BY NOT COMING TO THE NRG DURING THIS HEALTH CRISIS
Details
All restaurants, lodging, and facilities are closed in the Fayetteville area. As in many rural areas, the population of Southern West Virginia is unusually vulnerable to this virus, health facilities are limited, and it is very possible that outside visitors could spread Covid-19 here. Please stay home, train, and the rock will be here when this is all passed.
Description
A small area, but one stacked with a number of high-quality lines. It also has an easy approach.
Getting There
From Fayetteville, cross the bridge, and turn right onto Lansing Rd. Take the first right onto Fayette Station Rd, and follow it down to the river by staying left at both forks, and then taking a sharp left at the next intersection. Cross the bridge, pass the first parking lot, and park in the overflow lot above. Start walking down the train tracks, (keep an eye out for trains) until you cross under the bridge, and see a white mile marker(405) in the distance. About 100 yards before the marker, look for a cairn on the left side of the tracks. This will take you to the Sunshine area. For 1,2 Punch, and the White/Black boulder, walk 200 yards past the marker to another cairn.
