Park in the same area as for Purple Valley. The road is blocked by metal pylons but continues on as a 4-wheel drive road. Hike past the pylons and over a mound of dirt. Continue in the same direction as the road making use of a trail on your right to avoid crossing the stream. Cross the stream when you have to about 300 feet from the parking area. Just before you are forced to cross again, look for a tributary known as Amos Creek on your left. Leave the road, cross Amos Creek, and walk north (to the right) up a steep ridge through a limestone band to a buttress. You will see a wide crack (Quality Crack) in the middle of the wall at this point.

If you are going to Wide Pride and Boiler Room be sure to folllow the directions for Wide Pride.

Surprisingly not to hard to find this wall. Beautiful remote location! Directions in the guide are spot on.

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).
