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

Like its neighbor, Kline the Billy Goat, this route is all about slabaneering in the depths of the Endless hinterlands. Once again, put yer dancing shoes on and get ready to bust a jig, or do the funky chicken up the wall. Unlike its neighbor, you better be ready to bust out your go-go-gadget arms to reach a few holds. Also unlike its neighbor, there is a true crux. Be ready to use a thin crimp and high step to make your way to the anchor.

Location

Just right of Kline the Billy Goat.

Protection

7 bolts and bolted anchor
