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

Coal Point, it's below Diamond Point...get it?

This was my first foray into the Upper Raleigh Formation cliff line, and I was very pleasantly surprised with what I found. In fact, it started a whole spree of sub cliff developing for me.

Getting There

Walk straight downhill from the large boulder underneath diamond point. Follow faint deer paths down skier's right (climber's left) and drop around the climber's left side of the lower cliff band. Traverse in under the cliff
