it is possible to set up on TR and belay from above. some horrid rope drag - but the climb was surprisingly fun considering all the lichen on it!

Great route. Top outs on small pinnacles always freak me out though. Funny how being on top doesn't bother tourists much though.

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).
