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
Start 15' left of Virgin Thing by climbing a large tree for 12-15', plug some gear and climb into a large hueco. Exit the hueco left and follow holds up and slightly trend right to a stance. From stance, follow line of least resistance and gear as you will eventually finds holds but dwindling pro. From here you'll need a blue slider or possibly fiddle small brass, while running it out (5.9) till the slab meets steeper, colorful rock. From here get great pro and follow good jugs with the occasional horizontal cam until you find yourself under the large capped roof. From here, get pro and traverse right out roof and pull over on top the cliff, slinging a tree for an anchor. This route is not entirely straight forward, and will challenge the aspiring 5.10 leader. It is an amazing route, minus the tree shucking one must do to gain the route and is not to be missed for anyone who is searching for moderate, off the beaten path routes. Plus, you won't have to wait in line for the other neighboring classics.
