New River Gorge is one of the most popular areas to climb in the east. The rock is Nuttall Sandstone and similar to the Obed or Chattanooga region in Tennessee. The Endless Wall Area stretches over 3 miles of unbroken cliff with an average height of 80 feet. Routes are technical on bullet hard rock. There are 3 parking areas to reach the walls and access down to the cliffs is by rappelling or ladders only after a short, scenic walk. Snake Buttress offers classic face and some new classic sport routes. The sun beats down during the summer so save this for spring, fall or winter climbing. Park in the Nuttall parking or Fern parking lot and descend down the Honeymoon ladders.
