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
The difficulty begins right off the deck, but eases off considerably after the inital fixed gear. Commit to a difficult rising traverse past three old bolts. Then, easier gear-protected face climbing brings you to two more bolts at about 70 feet. Continue up, finishing at a notch below a small pine tree.
The rock on this climb is pretty good, and the upper face climbing is fun and interesting. The rising traverse feels pretty stout for the grade.
The fixed gear is old and cannot be backed up, but all other placements are solid and frequent.
