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
Climb the short, grungy, left-leaning crack just right of Jaws. This climb looks a bit intimidating from the ground being that it almost never has chalk on it and it's hard to determine where you might get gear on the face.
With that said, this line is a real gem in the rough. After leaving the initial crack work your way up and right using horizontals and highsteps for hand holds and placements. Never fear, there's just barely enough small gear up there! Eventually this route meets up with the neighboring route, Stretch Armstrong. Use the last 2 bolts and anchors of SA to finish up.
