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
This is a pure splitter crack with great pro the entire way, with a few bolts thrown in. Bring some draws and some hand and finger-sized pieces and climb it.
HISTORY: Doug Reed apparently did this as a gear climb, but decided to bolt it due to less-than-stellar rock at the first of the route, which he believed might turn some people off of the route. True, it does not look like much from the ground until you turn the flakey roof onto the beautiful splitter. Here at the New River Gorge, we respect the wishes of the FA more than rigid trad versus sport ideologies. Leave your debates at the Gunks or in NC!
