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 good sized cave that is a great place for rainy day bouldering. There are problems with a range of difficulty, from V0 up to V9. Be prepared to find some glued and altered rock dating from a time when this behavior was more commonly seen.

Getting There

Head to the Junkyard wall and keep walking, it is right past it located in the cliff line before you reach any of the other crags.
