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 from the top of a block. A stick clip is not needed, you can easily reach the first bolt from the top of the block. Start by climbing up and right using flakes to reach an excellent jug and the second bolt(crux). Follow the extremely positive holds the entire way to the top. The 6th bolt is quite a ways from the 5th bolt, but the climbing here is the easiest section on the climb. Overall, this is a lighter 11c, just move fast. This route might be a bit harder for shorter folks. The rock and the moves are much more pleasing than might appear from the ground!
