ABOUT New River Proper

This digital New River Proper climbing guidebook gives you GPS navigation, verified topos, and beta for hundreds of climbs. Explore classics and hidden gems with offline access to maps, directions, and beta videos. Whether it's your first visit or fiftieth, KAYA makes your New River Proper days smoother, safer, and more dialed.

This area is the heart of the New River Gorge. Cliffs line both sides of the gorge, and naturally, so do boulders.

From Fayetteville, most areas are accessed by turning right onto US-19 north and crossing the NRG Bridge. Wolf Creek Boulders are the exception.
