Good route but awkward to start. Traverse in from the left off good crimps.

Black rock reminiscent of Blankety Blank. Thought the non-leap of faith start was at least 10d.

if you ignore the first 15 ft then zone out for the last 15 and only remember the middle, it's 3.756128 stars!! yeah!

If you resist the tempation of bailing onto the ramp and stay on the face I guarantee the end will be memorable.

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).
