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

Start on a slabby face with small rounded edges. After clipping the second bolt, climb up and mantle onto a large ledge. Clip the third bolt and head into the crux. This route has awesome moves and sequences, but is a bit dirty. If this route were to see more traffic, it would surely gain some stars!

Location

The right most sport line on the face to the right of the Dumbolt County Arete.

Protection

5 bolts, shuts.
