Going climbing at the New River Gorge over in WV around mid June. Looking for information on the place. What are the classic routes/boulder problems? Where can I get a guide? Any free camping? Let me know what you know about the place.

For guiding, you should check out New River Mountain Guides:

http://www.newriverclimbing.com/climbingcourses.html

Pickup up the Cater guidebook for roped routes:

The bouldering guide is out of print, but stop in at Waterstone Outdoors for more info:

http://www.waterstoneoutdoors.com

And finally, Roger's campground is a popular climber campground. Inexpensive and close to climbing (near Kaymoor)

There is a guidebook currently out but a new one that is coming out in june ( will be MUCH nicer. )

I'm sure you can pick one up at Waterstone which is in fayetteville.

There is $5 a night camping at Rogers (rocky mountain campground ? ). It's a cool scene but if you need your sleep bring ear plugs.

Ive only climbed in the area known as the Junkyard, multiple classic climbs there to check out. I would suggest 3 sheets to the wind, Yosemite, and team jesus.

I can't imagine Roger's being too loud in June. Maybe on the weekends it will be though.

I'm about a week away from giving up the job search and moving to Roger's for the summer so shoot me an email before you come.
