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

Worth doing for some good variety! Start off the boulder and pass one bolt doing a tough opening move. Easier climbing to a ledge which leads to fun flake and a second bolt before pulling onto another ledge. Move off the ledge getting a good piece of gear or two, and get ready for the run to the top through 2 more bolts. Finish on a dinner table sized ledge with a great view of the gorge.
