Gaping wide butt crack in a chocolate slab. Beware of the finish it might spit you out.

Top out makes it! Eron Roy on the FA too, fond memories squeezing up this, think this was my first ground up fa, pooping my pants up top.

Aaron Saxton and his buddy Rob FA'd this with some aid, doing a lot of cleaning on the way up. I was sorta glad they never came back for the free ascent, watching them sketch up it with aid was scary enough haha

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).
