Cannonball - The Zoo :: Red River Gorge Online Guide

This route is located 20 feet left of Monkey in the Middle just before the next ampitheater. Begin on a boulder. Crank through some tough moves to start then pump up the overhanging face passing the occasional rest along the way.

As easy as super Dario.

I propose renaming this route Chossball and it's neighbor, On Beyond Choss.

Yasmeen said on March 31st, 2008

I didn't have any holds or feet break on this route. It's in the new guidebook as 11b, and I think that's accurate. Really fun juggy climbing!

It's actually a really good route.

This may have been choss years ago but it has cleaned up well. Very fun route. All of the holds were very solid. Just as good as is its neighbor Monkey.

Totally choss free as of June2010. Just as much fun as the neighboring 11's, possibly a bit easier thanks to the 2 hands-free rests

New anchors.

Good route! Bolts are in bad shape.

i just climbed this and 1) there are new glue-in bolts and 2) choss-free.

Anon I believe you were on "On Beyond Zebra." This route was updated to SS Glue-Ins on 9-10-2016. Thanks Fixed Gear Initiative/Access Fund.

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).
