Water Stone Outdoors - New River Gorge, West Virginia

That's right folks, after many months of closure, the Cirque is now officially open for climbing.  Apparently the birds have found that the grass is greener somewhere else.  Not only does the cirque have a high concentration of some classic hard routes (with a handful of 11's in there for the rest of us) it is also one of the driest crags here and will offer protection from even the nastiest of nasty wet days.   So, all you 5.14 climbers, pack up your gear and head on down to the New and see if you can get you some on Proper Soul or Lord Voldermort.
