Millennia of tafoni weathering has created an unmistakable V formation on this 25 degree overhanging face. Is it the best V2 in Central Kentucky? Possibly and probably.

Sit Start at the bottom of the V. Work your way up the pockets and beach your belly like a catfish stuck on the bank of Tough River. Stick your toes in the holes to make the mantle just a bit easier.

Sit Start on the left in the double undercling-sidepull (start hold of Fork and Knife) to add a solid V2+/V3- cross move into the V formation.

Shared start with the v3, head left at the iron oxidized tube feature (extremely sharp, please dont grab if you can help it,) negotiating a okay sidepull and a desperate move out to a shallow two finger pocket. Grit your teeth and make a few more burly moves and top out on decent holds.

Start low on close crimps, wide move out right to a pocket that gets better the more you pull on it, and a big move to a defined hueco in the middle of the route. Match and negotiate the slightly slopey top out.

Low start with okay feet, to good holds followed by a tricky top out.
