9. Zen and the Art of Masturbation 5.12d **** (S) Next line right of Stucconu. Begin with an easy start then quickly transition to heinous crimping interspersed with mellow pocket climbing to reach the upper headwall. Try to get a shake then tackle the overhang to reach a jug. Trend left to hide in a large hueco for a bit then creep out to take the finishing jugs to the chains. Bolted by Troy Davison.

User: someone Date: Jun 19th, 2007 Comments: 12c maybe d
User:Andrew Date: Jun 19th, 2007 Comments: I'll go for d, but it is way harder than OJ, or any other 12c I have done.
User:allah Date: Jun 19th, 2007 Comments: I would agree with 12c maybe 12d after more holds break up higher
User:jonnyp63 Date: Jul 29th, 2007 Comments: i think it might be a tall thing, it felt rather easy to me after i had a beta run, but my short buddy trick had a lot of troubles at the top and had to do a lot harder moves down low

Route details are copyright Ray Ellington, John Bronaugh,
and other Red River Gorge climbers. Climbing is
an inherently dangerous sport. The information in this guidebook is subject to error and should supplement
never replace common sense and caution, competent guidance and instruction,
and actually being outside. One should be especially cautious on matters
of route length, descent type, and number of bolts (especially since such things
do change occasionally).
