Description

Home to a namesake large window feature that looks through the rock to the other side of the ridgeline. A handful of dirty moderate traditional lines await for the obscure choss chasers.

Approx. Window Coordinates -- 37.8290N, 83.6269W

Getting There

Take KY-715 driving through the Nada tunnel, once at the intersection with KY- 77, continue on 715 for 2.0 miles. Just beyond where the Sheltowee Trace crosses the road, park at the pullout on the right. Follow the Sheltowee for ~100 yards until it passes a drainage. Bushwhack up the hill here for 5-10 minutes, staying left of the drainage, until you hit the wall. Look for the large left-slanting window that shoots through the cliff; the first three climbs follow cracks on the wall left of the window.
