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
Another classic Begoon face route, Rock Lobster snakes up the face left of Bullet. Starting in the same right-facing corner as Bullet, head left and up via seams and flakes, placing any gear you can find. At a horizontal seam, tiptoe right to a bolt. From the bolt follow edges, flakes and slots up and then back left to a good stance beneath a hand-size mail slot. Stuff a good cam in this slot, leaving room for your fingers and then puzzle out the powerful sequence and run to the anchors
