Well it is October and the Russel Fork is filled bank to bank with boaters and many of my climbing friends are going down to paddle/swim that river. Next saturday Oct-19th i may make the journey down to this area to meet up with a few of them and do some climbing. if anyone is interested in climbing in this area let me know. the more the merrier (this area sees little climbing traffic at this point in time and has plenity of room for a medium crowd of climbers). this trip may not go if the weather is bad which it often is this time of year.
It's down around Elkhorn City, KY... Jenkins area. Take Mountain Parkway to US 23 South and you can't miss it. Just look for signs around Pikeville. I've never climbed there, but plan to this weekend if it doesn't rain. Friends say it's great and potential for new routes.
I don't know how far Mountain Parkway goes past the Red (and am too lazy to pull up Mapquest). So how far does it go? This will help other people later when looking for this same info.. yeah, that's the justification for my laziness!
