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
Begin with a deceptively difficult and shouldery boulder that deposits you on a resting ledge.
When ready, blast up a few bolts on the overhanging headwall as the holds and feet get progressively worse. The second crux involves a sequence-crucial series of good but agonizingly painful pockets, ending with a final long move to a ledge. The climb ends at the last bolt, due to the clipping hold for the true anchors breaking.
A true exercise in pain tolerance for the more zen among us. Perfect for those who enjoy a casual stroll on some hot coals or a nap on a bed of nails.
