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.
I want to thank whoever took the time to replace the bolts with glue-ins. I've avoided this one over the years because it always had those red hangars and rusty bolts I didn't want to trust. Opening boulder problem feels humbling at first but not to bad once you get your beta. From the second bolt to the top its just classic undertow climbing. The only bummer is the like of a satisfying finishing hold for the anchor clip.
Bottom boulder has broken very obviously, forcing awkward but kind of badass problem on the worst holds of the tow. Feels more like 13a than the others on the wall.

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).
