Eureka ; 5.6 (Sport) FA: Scott Hammon and James Neukam
Global Village, to the Left of Wheel of Time and Father and Son

Kentucky Pinstripe ; 5.10a (Sport) FA: Scott Hammon and James Neukam
Global Village, to the right around the corner from Father and Son. There is also a 5.7 trad climb called Vision to the right of this climb. It ends at the same anchors.

(Snagged this from KYWilderness)

boy, that kywilderness is a cool site!

Vision goes all the way to the top! If you've only stopped at the Pinstripe anchors, you're missing out on a cool hand crack and top-out. Head right at the end of the flake.

When merrick and myself were up there vision had it's own anchors and a good view if you top out

makes me nervous...bolts? what da hell they doing there? whadda mean i can't place gear until i get to that next bolt? that's like, 7 feet away!
i can't wait that long...i need protection now!
ya think i freak out on trad....sport would just be too much trauma!

Place gear if you want. You don't have to clip any bolts at all if you want to!
