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
This route sits directly to the climber's right of Floaters at First Buttress. Blocky start leads to a fun seam. Follow the seam through a roof, then on to easier ground above. If you happen to drag a light rack down to the meadow this is definitely worth doing. Protects well with C4's and nuts
