Directions to Left Flank

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. This is the trailhead for Martin's Fork and is marked so by a Forest Service sign. Hike across the road and walk back toward the tunnel. You will see the trailhead for Military Wall and Left Flank on your left. Walk across the wooden bridge then continue staight. The trail to Military Wall will branch off to your right about 20 feet after crossing the bridge. Continue ahead on the trail. Cross the stream with some stepping stones and hike up the hill using the obvious trail on your left. Follow the trail uphill for a few minutes to reach the base of Left Flank. If you cross another bridge, you've walked too far.

Wall Sun: All day

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).
