An all-too common sight on many routes at the gorge.

World class whitewater, Fayette Station Rapid (below Bridge Buttress). For climbers, the banks of the New River can provide a welcome summer cooldown.

Get off the trail a little way off the beaten track and you will be surprised as what you can find. There are hidden caves and huge boulders that can be climbed up and thorough.
