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
An area classic. This line is characterized by ever steepening juggy climbing with a bouldery crux or two up high and a climatic finish. The first 2/3rds of this climb aren't any harder than 5.9 and there is a full no hands lay down rest before the crux.
