we need more folks like you around here who still appreciate a good adventure. keep your history lessons coming. once a week you should share with us a good story from your climbing days here. start a "bedtime with Larry" thread.

He's shared quite a few stories from back in the day. Any of those yarns from kywilderness or climbkentucky still available?

Please, somebody just go climb the route. Top rope is fine. Then you get the big payoff - the well earned right to strut around and call everyone who hasn't done it miserable chicken shits!

You know, I always had intentions on climbing this route but I moved away before I had the chance to. Maybe next summer...

I was looking for a roof crack..you cant see the top very well for the trees.
Toproping that whole thing is a sweet idea. Tower is such a cool place. I did find a sweet boulder problem. I'll never tell where.

That's it. TR the whole thing in one long pitch. You can take a breather on the ledge beneath the overhang. It's damn near a perfect plumb line. Put in the effort to engineer toprope anchors and you'll be glad you did. This will be a challenging and fun problem.
