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
This route is hard. Start with a 25 ft solo up to the first bolt. From here meander up 5.10 slab climbing for another 4 bolts. When you find yourself face to face with the steeper rock above get ready to use underclings, slimpers, razor crimps and slopers to clip the next 3 bolts. My belayer and I both ripped open our pads on the right hand sidepull up high. Get ready to hate these holds worse than your prom date's dad.
