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
Start left of the tree and climb straight up through mostly good holds to a horizontal. Do a bit of a tough move the gain the slab, and then trend right up to the crack. Enjoy the fun crack to the roof, and then traverse left to a hard move getting established on the pedestal. Fun easy slab to top.
To get off (currently) there is no good anchor point at the top. A couple of options are:
Belay your second up and rap the tree down through the chimney on the right.
Bring up about 30 feet of webbing and build an anchor off the big boulder leaning across the gap.
Or, throw a length of rope off the backside of the block, have your partner anchor you on belay, and then rap down the route with the rope draped across the top.
Location
Walk about 300 yards past Fuel Injector. On the face just around the from the obvious arete.
Protection
Standard rack up to #2 BD. No anchor
