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
A finger intensive traverse with poor feet! Sit start with your left hand on a low jug and your right hand on a small crimp pocket up and right of the jug. Traverse left to a jug on the arete before topping out.
Location
Look for the low, vertical face on the back side of the Malone Boulder. This boulder starts low and follows a small, diagonal crack.
Protection
Several crash pads, there is a depression under the boulder
