This wall is in property owned by USFS. Be respectful.

From the Shell gas station in Slade, turn left out of the parking lot onto Route 15 and drive 3.4 miles until you see a sign for Tunnel Ridge Road. Turn left onto Tunnel Ridge Road and follow for a 3.7 miles until it ends at a large parking area for Auxier Ridge. Park and follow the Auxier Ridge Trail (Trail #204) for 1.8 miles along a ridge. When the ridge narrows and becomes all rock, angle back left and walk out a few hundred feet to a buttress.

Fun old school routes with great exposure

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).
