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 climb starts off with easy climbing and then once you clip the first bolt you are engaged in small face climbing. After leaving the all-too-short crack you find yourself on small edges and pinches. Using the correct holds and sequence will put you at big jugs and 5.9 climbing to the top.

Location

The second line of bolts to the left of the cave and directly to the right of the the entertainer/realignment.

Protection

4 bolts and a few smaller pieces for the beginning. 2 bolts anchors at the top.
