Description Suggest change

A small boulder field in the forest at Lady Slipper with a good concentration of moderate lines. Probably one of the best collections of solid boulders in the Gorge that aren't totally covered in moss or sand.

Getting There Suggest change

From Slade, drive south on KY11, passing by Miguel's, for 4.8 miles to a grassy meadow area and pulloff parking area on the right (37.7508, -83.66375). From the parking, cross KY11 to find a trail leading uphill. Follow the trail up to a split at a large boulder. Hike right along a bench to the main bouldering area. Boulders can be found all along the hillside below the cliffline of Emerald City.
