Nelson Rocks to reopen next year?

 

I’ve been hearing rumors that Nelson Rocks in West Virginia has resolved its liability concerns and will reopen next year. This is completely hearsay, but does anyone have any further details?

I really used to love climbing at Nelson when I lived in the DC area as it was a great alternative to the crowds at Seneca and Franklin.

    There has been another fatal accident at Nelson Rocks Preserve. This was reported in Sept 28 06 edition of The Pendleton Times. The death of a 24 yr occurred last Thursday.

    I grew up on the North Fork, where in Franklin did you climb?
