Directions to Jailhouse Rock

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

Drive down Tunnel Ridge Road until it ends in a large parking area. Park and walk back up the road to a gate blocking the old road. Walk past the gate and follow the gravel road for about a mile until you see an old 4WD road on your left (which is now blocked off). From the end of this road is a trail that leads to a view of Star Gap Arch. Follow the trail past a rocky notch and continue along the ridge for another half mile. When you see the obvious orange buttress of Jailhouse Rock ahead and to the right, hike for another five minutes or so and look for an faint trail down to the wall on your right. Hike down the steep trail and head left (right if you're facing the wall) to the majority of the routes.

Failure to Communicate is at Ascentionist's gps Coords (37.8343, -83.6954).

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).
