Man, I was reminded this weekend of how damn cool this route is.
That has to be one of the raddest cracks in the Red.

Right on man, I was just thinking about that line this weekend too. Thinking about how Wes got me on that thing last spring and now I probabbly couldn't link two moves together. At anyrate that thing is steep crack climbing fun for sure!
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

It *is* steep man! It's hard to tell from the ground too....you kind of have to be on it to realize how steep it is.

Michelle got an advanced hand jamming class on it. That is definitely a route to learn on. The jams aren't exactly straight forward.

Great route for sure. Trad hands and sport feet. Crack boulder problems but still very pumpy. Kinda tricky gear. Well defined crux. Steep. Yep, just about everything you could hope for in a route.
