No way man, that's Mindy... 5.5 chimney with a hand crack in it. A sandy beach (bitch?) she is.

There's a sweet ass 5.9 there called Starship Troopers. It's really short but damn it's so cool. Look it up in the online guide for a photo.

Right Crack and Wrong Crack are cool too for short moderates. Wrong Crack is actually a bit better than Right Crack contrary to what the guide says.

Lunatic Fringe is probably one of the best 5.8 routes in the Red.

My favorite thing at hens nest is climb Finger Licking Good and finish out on Sultans Of Stem. nice long pitch. Lunatic Fringe is a great route also!and dont forget get to do my old partner the late Bill McCullough's The Edge, fun tr route.

Man, I agree, The Edge is pretty sweet. Very cool bouldery arete climbing.
You ever been on Mr. Freeze t bone? It looks like a pile. Every time I go there I say I'm gonna get on it but then I walk around the corner and see what a pile of shit it looks like so I don't.

Also I heard Atomic Cafe is hard and scary.

Sigh...missed more beer because I didn't have internet access on the beach.

JB, you better watch those girly named routes. Could get ya in trouble.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
