Directions to Lady Slipper - Emerald City

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

Drive 4.8 miles from the Junior Williamson Rest Area (toward Miguel's) on KY 11 and stop at a large grassy area which has an occasional muddy pulloff on the right (near mile marker 4). If you drive to where the rock quarry road heads uphill to your left then you have driven too far. Park and head across the road to a trailhead. Follow the trail uphill to the wall. You will probably end up beneath the ledge which Oz and it's neighboring routes start from. The trail that branches off right continues down to Global Village.

Wall Sun: All day

Home to some GREAT climbing, unique and technical routes very different from the usual pumpy jug-hauls... my new favorite wall!

This wall can be very wet after a rain. Routes 1-5 were waterfalls on 5 Apr 09.

To the Douche Nozzle who butchered the tree that was barely touching Diamond In The Rough, great work asshole! Another few years and the root system will be gone too.

What is the climb with the memorial plaque at the bottom?

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).
