One of the easy routes, Suess, Suess, Studio is closed, but there are some other pretty fun easy lines there. And the harder lines are super cool as well. Sam I Am, is a classic for sure. 5 stars, except for the crumbly start.

Dip Wall is a great place for new trad leaders. I did most of my early trad leads there and had a ball. You should go there. I love to hear stories about people getting lost and not being able to find it. :P

Back before there was a well worn trail to this place it took us a couple of tries to find the crag. The popularity of Dip has taken some of the adventure out of the climbing day, but the routes are still well worth the trip.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
