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
Classic right to left lowball sloper traverse. Move on slopers, heel, and toe-hooks toward the arete. Most people topout at an obvious spot about four feet before you get to the arete. If you are 5'8" or taller, you will probably be able to make a long reach up to a horizontal at the end of this traverse, and it might feel easy for the grade. If you are short, you'll have to do a legit techy mantle.
The original line of this problem continues all the way to the arete, eliminating the mantle but adding some harder moves. In fact, the original Sketches bouldering guide rated 'Slopers' V4, with perfect technique, it likely is.
