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 starting span leads to good holds and a shake. Reach from pocket to pocket on smeary feet, making a surprising downwards step left before a techy set-up to a desperate deadpoint. That's not the crux though - you've still got some slopers and rounded crimps to navigate on tiny feet before large holds appear at the last bolt.
High quality, but be prepared to try hard.
