Description
The entire Southern Region as well as Hampton's Wall and Muir Valley are located in the Kentucky River watershed. For the most part these climbing areas are located in what is known as the Big Sinking Oil field. The oil industry is prevalent in the area. You can't miss the wells and the impact that oil extraction has caused.
Getting There
Various approaches are required to different climbing areas. The main road to access this region of climbing is hwy 11 south of Slade.
Start on the giant hueco/undercling to make a long, somewhat bouldery move. From here, an enduro-crimp fest awaits. Short, and not all that pumpy unless crimps aren't your thing. One tricky move near the top to (you guessed it) a small crimp. Awesome movement and cool holds. Good technical skills will get you through this one just fine....[more]
Currently the whole Muir Valley area is closed due to work being done on the road. Supposedly several accidents happened on the road and the two owners decided to close the area until the road was safer.
