Access Issue: Private Property - Access Closed Details

The Meadow River is almost entirely private property and mostly CLOSED to climbing, EXCEPT Lower Meadow routes and boulders and Meadow Top boulders. The only public land, part of the Gauley River National Recreation Area, is far downstream and has no good access without crossing over closed private property.

Description

Start out with a few thin moves. Continue up with increasingly more positive holds as the route begins to get steeper. As you approach the large roof above, head right to reach it. Reach up high and traverse back left on great holds to reach the shuts. The crux is likely clipping the shuts! Amazing roof moves!
