Soloed this way back before I knew what climbing was.

There's an obvious 2nd pitch. It's more of the same.

or you can do all three pitches and top out i would suggest wandering up a little after the second before you start the third and find another route down there should be ancors somewhere off to the left you kinda have to look over the edge for them.

The middle crack had some interesting features for holds. I'm not sure it was worth topping out though. Just solo it or up and down lead it with one #3 cam. I don't think Dustin Ferrell's pictures look like any of the Grunge cracks. I think the right one looks like Mighty Edison.

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).
