Yellow Jacket nest near the top. We bailed on a couple of old pieces that needed to be retired anyways. Saw someone elses bail nut a little higher up, but the bees wouldn't let us get that far up. Too bad. Seemed like a great climb.

After taking a look at this climb, it was a must do. the slab section on the bottom just calls you... Didn't have any trouble with bees (sunny+65) and we passed a chock-knotted piece of webbing for fixed gear.

a decent anchor would do wonders for this climb. the anchor is a slung 8" plate backed up w/ knotted slings about 6 feet lower.

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).
