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

Sit start with your right hand in the hueco, and left hand on a good edge. Climb up perfect holds, on a perfect boulder to an awesome jump move, and a nice top out. What's not to like?

Classic and scenic. Plus, having your leg in the Hueco might just make you giggle. Options abound before the good hold. So sort your beta. And no jump is necessary if you (can) lock it off. That said, my feet popped and I swung around like an idiot. Fun (moderate) topout, but don't blow it. Nov 30, 2020
