Description

This small area has a great collection of classic hard problems. Its short approach, quick drying nature, and perfect rock make Fayette Station a popular quick hit or part of a circuit on the one-way Fayette Station Road. This is within the New River Gorge National Park boundaries.

🔴This area is somewhat water level dependent. At very high water levels, some of the boulders may be unclimbable. See https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Gauge2/detail/id/43472/ for current water levels.
