Description Suggest change

One of the first areas established. Plenty of great climbs in this area. The parking lot for this area allows access to sacred ruins as well as many other stellar areas. These are the prominent problems in the area. However, there are plenty of problems that are probably overlooked and not listed here, and many more that can be established.

Getting There Suggest change

The best way to get to this area is to route to the parking pin found at foxtownboulders.com/map. ;

Upper Parking Lot: 37.491008249239385, -83.95376787102877

Lower Parking Lot: 37.48450186533786, -83.9580864177813

The parkings lots are called Foxtown lower parking, and Foxtown upper parking. From 89 turn on to Lime Kiln Ridge Rd, take the right fork. Continue down the dirt/gravel road for two miles or so. You will come up to the first pull off, if you don't have 4 wheel drive park here and hike in. If you have 4 wheel drive continue down the service road until it ends into a cul de sac type thing. Park here and enjoy quick access to the boulders!

To Access Sacred Ruins walk back down towards the road from the upper lot and turn right. Continue for several minutes until the road turns right (and is closed). On the left you will see a sign for Sacred Ruins. Follow this path past the Three Stooges area. The path continues on and begins to hug the cliff line. Eventually the cliff line has a break in it on the right, after which you would turn left to continue along the cliff. This is the top of Sacred Ruins. Follow the path downhill and you will pass through Cinema Alley, World, Patchwork Boulder, Knuckles, Iron Fist, Panda, and Compression Chamber areas (roughly in order depending on exact path you take).
