Description:

Once on 3rd level walk to the end of the ledge. You will see a dirty crack slab that goes to the top. Kind of runout at the top. KICK ASS EXPOSURE!!!

Link together "Wombat" (5.4), "UnNamed" (5.3), and "Kentuckian Exposure" (5.3) for an excellent begginer multi-pitch climb.

4 out of 5 stars Fun payoff pitch

Although its a little green...its pretty much all jugs. Plug about one or two cams and bring loooonng sligs to reduce rope drag. As of 10-13-07 the tree near the top has rotted away and was very loose.
