What MV route is this?

Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

maybe because the moves are so stellar?
i hear a lot of people comment on a route being "classic" in the sense of the flow-rock quality-etc, the general aesthetics of the route being in line with other high-quality climbs.

Well I'll be, I've done that route. Guess I've never seen it from that angle before.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
