Follow the trail left as it winds down through a ravine and back up to meet a striking steep wall hosting three bolted lines. This is the first line on the right. Race up the steep wall on large holds with big moves culminating in a pumpy run on deep pockets to the chains.

Great route. The bulge section is still cleaning up so best to stand to the side right there when you're on belay

two aluminum draws on the last two bolts, it was cold, I was tired....sorry. Will remove them soon.

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).
