Access Issue: Private Property - Access Closed Details

The Meadow River is almost entirely private property and mostly CLOSED to climbing, EXCEPT Lower Meadow routes and boulders and Meadow Top boulders. The only public land, part of the Gauley River National Recreation Area, is far downstream and has no good access without crossing over closed private property.

Description

This route is slightly slabby with generally positive holds but gets a little slopey up top. It looks like it hasn't been climbed since its first ascent and has a decent bit of lichen and no chalk, but it's good fun. Guidebook calls it 10a but it felt 5.9.

Location

This is the leftmost sport route on a terrace between second and third buttress. This is on a separate terrace from the terrace that contains Girl in the Hornet's Nest through Transfat. It is climbers right of that terrace and climbers left of Third Buttress.
