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
A great lead for a solid 5.9 sport leader. This route is much better than it appears from the ground. Start on a large ledge and climb up heading left to a bulge and flake. Gain a stance, follow a left facing flake system that leads to a face with rounded horizontal ridges. Reachy last clip. Most of the harder moves require making the move before clipping the bolt.
Location
Start on the ledge, 15 feet left of the Walking on the Moon corner.
Protection
6 bolts, shuts
