About Pebble Beach:

Pebble Beach

Excellent place to climb for intermediate trad and sport routes. The area also boasts one of the hardest trad routes east of the Mississippi, "Welcome to Ole Kentucky" (5.13a). A pumpy uphill approach will bring you to the pinnacle with the route "The Arrowhead". Some top rope set-ups can be found via a bushwack to the top of the cliff.

DIRECTIONS: Go North on 77 through the Nada Tunnel and past the Iron Bridge, then turn left onto 1067 and go 3 miles. Park in front of a bridge on the left side of the road. The trail starts on the other side of the road and goes up a steep hill.
