Brighton Rock is the next spur west of Willie's Wall. For the most direct approach, follow the approach to Willie's Wall, but instead of turning right onto the second logging road, stay on the first logging road. This road continues level along the hillside for some distance before turning uphill through a gap in the lower cliff band. After passing through the lower cliff band, head left to the point of rock and locate the first route (Brighton Rock 5.7) on the east face. To get to Brighton Rock from Willie's Wall, just go to the left end of Willie's Wall and around the corner. A short hike (a few hundred feet)through the woods will get you there. Hike directly to the next buttress, staying well downhill from the chossy cliffline that seperates the two buttresses.

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).
