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
Belay from the ledge and be careful not to fall off or use the belay bolt. Climbs the blunt prow off the far right side of the ledge. A few bolts are a little further than you may want, and there is a lot of lichen on it at this time. Could be a better route with some more traffic.
