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
Quality stem corner into a steeper-than-it-looks splitter. Low crux, but still sustained.
Location
This is the farthest upstream of South Nuttal's hard finger cracks. You can walk or rap to it. You may be able to circumvent some of the poison ivy found on the approach if you rap in. See the guidebook for more information.
Protection
stoppers, finger-sized pieces, and perhaps a few larger ones up to red or green camalot. Two new bolt anchors.
