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 is listed as Unnamed KM #8 in the Cater guide, 3rd edition. This climb has some interesting moves. Climb straight up the face, wondering left and right a bit to piece it together, aiming for the roof with a horizontal crack in it. When you reach the roof, head left, underclinging your way to the bolt above the roof. From here, traverse a bit left, mantle up, and then traverse back right. Straight up to the shuts from here. A few long draws are helpful in reducing drag. Some of the bolts could have been placed better to reduce the drag. There's a couple suspect blocks along the way, but you can easily avoid them.
