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 by grabbing the jug below the first bolt and smearing your way up to a stance. Continue up the slabby face. The crux is reaching the 4th bolt where the face turns slightly overhanging. Pull up past this bolt to the best holds on the climb and follow up to the anchors. This route is pretty solid for the grade and it requires the leader to make some delicate moves with your feet a foot or two above the bolts. Great climbing, don't pass this up if you are in the area!
