Description

Though very close to the road, Spring Wall doesn't have a ton of routes and you have to trapse through a mess of rhododendron to get to it. Derby Day (5.10d) makes it worth the stop though.

This wall doesn't get a lot of sun, and can remain wet during the rainy season.

Getting There

From the intersection of KY 77 and KY 15, drive east on KY 77 for 1.6 miles to a pullout on the right. The pullout is located just past another pullout on the right which contains a pipe tapping the Nada spring. From the pullout, head up the hill on your right and then angle left a few hundred yards to reach the base of the cliff.
