Access Issue: Private Property - Access Closed Details

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

Start with a high step above a low roof and climb the white face, occasionally using holds left of the bolt line. Use nice underclings to reach a jug at the 5th bolt. There is a loose, but seemingly wedged rock in the vertical section of the obvious slightly overhung, angled crack/flake. It is not necessary to use the loose piece as there is a jug in the flake next to the loose peice. Make a couple long moves with tricky feet. Then continue of steeper rock on good holds to the top.
