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
Short lived but really fun route. 2 bolts of easier climbing leads to a tough 3rd bolt clip and getting set for the crux. The crux is over with an amazing stand-up snag of the jug crack above the compression arete. Nice thought provoking face climbing takes you to one more strange move at the anchors. Make the move to the roof above the anchors for an easy clip.
