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

Follow a slabby, obtuse dihedral, jamming and laybacking as you go until you reach a ledge. Traverse right 20 feet on low 5th class terrain until you can reach the flake that will make you change direction and takes you up and left until you reach the anchor.

Location

Obvious corner/flake system w/tree 25 ft up just west of access point.

Protection

Hand size and smaller for the bottom. A .4 or equivalent (extended with a long sling) works well as the last piece for the traverse. Fist sized pieces protect the flake beautifully, and a #3 fits nicely to protect the last bit to the anchor. Bolted anchor.
