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

Starts from the same boulder as Mensa and climbs just to the right of it. Face climbing on a variety of downpulls, sidepulls, and underclings with some long reaches and some small feet. Be advised, this route contains some long runouts.

Location

Located just right of Mensa on the brain wall.

Protection

4 bolts, bolt anchor
