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

Climb up some easy rock to clip the first bolt. Pass the bolt on the left and make a tricky thin move to gain a left facing flake. Continue up the flake to large jugs in under the overhang. Clip the bolt and pull over the roof to gain a great hold on the left (crux). Continue up and right over a very moderate face on good holds to reach the shuts. This is a great route for someone breaking into the 5.12 grade, more like 5.11d. Bolts are very well placed.
