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
1st 5.12 at the New.
You can start on the left edges or on the right, I've done the climb both ways, I think the left is easier for shorter folks and the right for taller folks.
The crux is working out the moves without sweating off, pulling a pulley or freezing to death.
There have been multiple holds that have broken off of this route and it's now a good bit harder than it was. Pretty chossy.
