Hells Kitchen

Pretty gold/black streaked wall and home to several soon to be ultra-classics. Routes here tend to be vertical to gently overhanging and more bouldery than the typical Red River jug fest.

Getting There

From the Miller Fork parking lot, cross the creek via the bridge and continue on the road staying straight through the first two intersections. At the third intersection, trend up and left past a severely rutted section in the road and continue following the road for another 10-15 minutes until you come to a trail heading up the hill to the right. Total approach time is approximately 25 minutes from the parking
