New River Cracks

I recall some trad routes at the New River Gorge. Maybe at Endless Wall. Hey, I wonder why they call it Endless? Hmmm. Maybe those routes where at Kaymor. Hope this is useful.
I don't usually get too excited about rapping, but if you have two ropes the long rap down from the anchors above fantasy roof is sweet, and saves a boatload of time.TradMike wrote:http://www.mountainproject.com/v/west_v ... /106040788
I like Endless Wall. Highest concentration of good stuff. Knowing how to get to the wall and back out fast is the crux. If you know exactly where your climb is you can rap in to the start.
Do a few days at Fern Buttress, a few at Endless Wall (Fern Point down), and a few days at Beauty.
You'll be psyched.

check. here is the report.
We did one of the best 10b's of all time- Party in Your Mind. It is a 90 ft face/arete all trad protected.
A few sport routes not worth reporting on.
The Entertainer 10a, Rapscallion's Blues 10c, and New Yosemite 5.9 at Junkyard. All great.
