I’m not much of a trad climber, but this seemed rather difficult. Perhaps it was the dirt, perhaps it was all the spiders, maybe just because I was running out of gear, but most likely because I wasn’t climbing back in 1980 when they decided to call this 5.9. Gray webbing from the rap tree was installed 9-1-08.

I thought this route was pretty good, at least three stars, maybe four. it wasn't dirty either. no mud or dirt in the crack. it seemed tough for the grade, true old school 5.9. i'd highly recommend it.

I'm with pawilkes, good route, 3-4 stars.

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).
