The Meadow River Gorge is the "Wild West" of the New River Gorge region. It features active development, hidden swimming spots, and ATV-riding locals, offering a raw and untamed experience compared to the more polished New River Gorge. This rugged charm brings both benefits—such as greater freedom—and drawbacks, including litter, noise, and occasional subpar route development. The rock here is more intricately featured than at Endless Wall, providing a diverse array of moderate sport routes. Whether you're seeking sun-drenched winter crags like First Buttress, approachable sport areas such as Tan Wall and Zero Buttress, or some of the region's finest traditional crack climbs, this place has something for everyone. This guide currently documents 417 routes from 5.4 to 5.14a, including 23 projects. Your one-time purchase of a lifetime license gives you access to all future updates.
