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
This route has excellent moves the whole way. The start is a bit tricky for the first 15 Ft. Small nuts protect the moves well. Continue up the crack on good locks until the crack peters out. Traverse slightly to the right, clip the bolt and make the reachy moves to positive holds (crux). Sticking the holds above the bolt is pretty exciting!
