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
Although this is a short route, all of the moves will keep you thinking! Start on the left edge of the wall climbing up using the arete to reach the first bolt. From here traverse right to reach a great pocket. Dyno up to reach another great hold and 3rd bolt. From here, use small holds and shallow pockets to eventually gain a thin flake and clip the 4th bolt. Continue straight up using a crimp or two to reach the obvious jug. Jugs from here out to reach the ledge and shuts.
Location
This route is located on the gray wall immediately to the right of Diversity in Microcosm and just to the left of a tree and The Plug.
