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
Very hard crux for a 5.12a, this could be made significantly easier with a good rappel brushing. The crux is very long to holds that are currently covered in a thick lichen film. The crux is 4 bolts up, the chains are also difficult to gain.
Location
The route is on an obvious slab after hiking in from the Fern Point Ladders and walking through the caverns. You can rappel into this route.
Protection
8 bolts, bolted anchor.
