From the Junior Williamson Rest Area, drive south (toward Miguel's) on KY 11. You will pass Roadside and Torrent on the way. Turn right on Fixer Rd and make your first left. Take that road for 3.5 miles (making sure not to turn left where the road seems to want to take you) until you see a black oil tank on your left with a face painted on it. Make a right at the oil tank and then take the second right. Drive down a hill and park just to the right of a steep road that branches left. The main parking area is located here near the kiosk for the Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve. From the parking area, walk a few feet past the kiosk to locate the trail marker. Follow the trail down and across a small bridge then along a dirt road for a few hundred yards until it heads off into the woods. Stay on the trail until it branches off to the right. You will see signs pointing the direction to the Solar Collector and The Darkside. Taking a right and heading uphill will take you to the Solar Collector. If you continue straight on the trail, it will take you to The Darkside. Please fill out a waiver at the Murray-Pendergrass Recreational Preserve kiosk located near the main parking area before climbing.

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).
