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

About every size of crack climbing is found on this route, from fingers to chimney. A fair amount of stemming and laying back is possible, too. One of Bridge Buttress's best, don't miss this one! For the top 20-30 feet, you can do what most folks do and step right to use a great flake for an airy fingers layback, or keep it blue collar in the back of the main crack/chimney feature.
