First Ascent: Philip Babiak, Dave Kanapell in 1988 Length: 90ft Gear: (report bad anchors)
This offwidth is located 25 feet left of Treasures in Heaven and a few feet right of the second pitch of Ralph and Bob's. Climb up easy ledges to get to the crack.
The picture is of Treasures in Heaven 5.8+ FA Tom Kwasny, Chris Morrisey, JJ 2002. Suction Lipectomy is only an OW at the very top. From the top of Ralph and Bobs, look to the left about 15 feet and you see the OW portion. It is easy to traverse over and finish with this. Its oldschool 8+.
Easy ledges my ass, dirty as hell to get to the crack. The crack only just made the lower section worth it. This is more a variation of Ralph and Bobs is you want to protect it
The OW is accessed directly from the bottom on the direct protectable line. Finger size pieces will do the trick. take double fingers up to BD 0.75. What you don't use you can leave on the shelf at the bottom of the OW.

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).
