COVID-19 Climbing Guidelines: The Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest, Muir Valley, and all RRGCC-owned property - which includes Miller Fork Recreational Preserve, Bald Rock Recreational Preserve, and Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve - request that you follow the guidelines outlined on each website if you choose to climb during this time. See links above for more details about each climbing area.
This route begins below a right-facing dihedral 10 feet right of Cut Throat. Start by grabbing a somewhat slopey hold about 6 feet up. Crank up to a ledge then move left to a flake. Climb the flake for a few moves then power your way through the next few bolts to the anchors.
This route and Snooker are a couple of extremely cool lines. Once your feet leave the ground, you're racing to the top cuz there aren't many good rests.
automated-im hearin' ya, though he did put up some dope lines in the purgatory (where, if i recall correctly, he claimed he did not have the authority to rate routes, maybe he had the right idea...)
if you were listening i said i didnt feel I should rate the things at purgatory because i didnt feel they would be acurate because people come up with different sequences, rests, and shit like that. paradise lost is now more than likely 13a because everyone climbs out to the ledge that is 15 ft from the bolt line.
Fun, interesting line on a cool section of wall. A few bolts of jugs, but then it gets on you. Thought going left onto the face was a little easier than going pocket to pocket in the dihedral.
the best route I've been on at the RED. looks plain techy from the ground, but ends up having the biggest collection of interesting and bouldery movements..

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).
