About Bridge Area Crags:
These are the crags located directly under the Bridge and directly up and downstream of it on the North rim of the New River Gorge. The section, Bridge Buttress is home to the first recorded route in the Gorge (Zag, 5.8, trad). Though Bridge Buttress tends to crowd up on weekend days, a short walk up or downstream will generally yield pleasantly surprising solitude and some of the best trad climbing in the Gorge. |
