Anybody done the top pitch lately? Looked cool from the fixed nuts at the mid way point. The bottom is an awkward offwidth chimney with little pro. But still really cool climbing

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).
