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.

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