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 seldom done and underrated route at Fern, The Brawn Wall climbs as nicely as it looks. Start up the shallow dihedral and pump out right to the arete clipping 3 bolts. Plug in good gear from a pumpy stance at the arete. Quickly figure out how to climb the right side of the arete, you can place a purple tcu on the face if you are feeling the burn or just make a long move up and right to the horizontals below the overhang. Good gear here then thug over the bulge to a stance. Climb the fun crack that trends up and slightly left to a two bolt anchor at the very top. This climb has good rock and offers up a variety of climbing with an awesome, technical crux.
