If it didn't suffer from a foot of munge rock on the top of the flake this would be 4*. Luckily the shit rock is avoidable via large holds on the face to the right. Good warmup for the wall!
Good little route. It never even occurred to me to use the top of the flake where the rock gets bad, as there are tons of holds on the face. Cool top section.
Climbed on 04/23/2016, did not see any poor quality rock. Moving up the snow cone will be tough if you can't hand jam. Rest of the route feels like 10c climbing, with a neat throw in there. Anchors clip off an amazing flat ledge at the top.
The bad rock must have cleaned up by now, or I didn't go that far to the left. Great route. Felt a bit tough for the grade, but it might the the 90F temps takling.

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).
