Directions to Military Wall

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

Drive 1.0 miles east past Nada Tunnel on KY 77 to the bottom of the hill. Park at the large gravel parking lot on the left. Hike across the road and walk back toward the tunnel. You will see the trailhead for Military Wall and Left Flank on your left. To access Military Wall, walk across the small footbridge and take the trail as it branches off to the right about 100 feet after the bridge.

Does anyone know if the boulder around the corner from Nagypapa has any established problems? I was there today and there is chalked up holds and it looks pretty nasty.

people shit under it a lot

It does. A V9 goes out the prow, with several easier problems surrounding it.

Does anyone know the name of that dude that fell rapping off Jungle Beat Saturday? I was hoping to check in on him

Just to the right of Special Impetus is a hand sized crack that starts back in a cave. After you pull up into the crack and get established on your feet, it goes for around 20-30' and flares into an OW slot to a ledge. From there 40' of dirty chimney-ish type climbing lead to the top and a tree with old slings. Anyone know what this is?

Big props Will Sweeney, Brian, Chase, and crew for all the rebolting work out here this year... it looks awesome!! Thanks to the Mank Bank and ASCA (www.safeclimbing.org) for the support.

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).
