First Ascent: Kipp Trummel in 2013 Length: 55ft Gear: (report bad anchors)
Walk right from the previous steep lines to reach a more vertical section of the wall where this flake is located. It's a spicy hot lead so be solid at the grade before diving in.
Moves: Flake Descent: Chains Stays Dry: Does not stay dry Owner:

I led it on gear for a warm up. Come on it's 5.8 I can downclimb 5.8. This thing got my attention. The less than stellar rock had me fiddling with gear quite a bit. I burned a calorie or two. Good head game. Not for the faint hearted.

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).
