This is a nice crack that eats gear. Good Beginner one. Although the top is a dirrty wet mess. If only there were anchors on this it would be a lot better.

I would argue that this entire wall has evolved to the point of needing fixed anchors, except I don't think that would stop the routes from being perpetually dirty.

Surprisingly fun! Nice little warm up climb with some adventure at the top.

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).
