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
This route must be done in 2 pitches due to the 50 ft traverse required to reach the dihedral and roof pitch.
P1: Climb up the wide crack to reach a large ledge to the right(30-40 ft).
P2: This is the money pitch!! After traversing about 50 ft to the right, set up a belay at the base of a left facing corner. Climb up the crack in the corner to reach the first roof. Traverse a few feet to the right and pull the roof following a .5-.75" crack to the next roof. At the base of this roof, traverse a bit to the left and pull up and follow the short crack to the anchors.
If this second pitch were more easily accessible, this would surely be a classic climb for the area!
