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 is an essential rite of passage for anyone looking to become an NRG face trad expert. Start with a weird move off the ground right of Chorus Line, and head towards a shallow dihedral. Most of it is gear protected, mostly TCUs and small stoppers, but the crux is protected by a bolt.
