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
Just to the right of Fingers, you'll see a bolt line that angles up and left through overhanging terrain on good holds. It's tough to see the top half of the route from the ground, but after pulling on top of a ledge at 4th bolt, the route continues up more vertical and technical terrain for the last 3 bolts to shuts at the top. The book gives this zero stars, but it's worth doing.
