Access Issue: New route development is prohibited in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
Details
fs.usda.gov/activity/dbnf/r… Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
A fun route. However, be ready. Moderately overhung with generous holds, it lulls many into thinking it's a typical RRG jughaul...only to be spanked near the top.
Location
Located almost at the extreme east end of Lady Slipper-Global Village. Follow trail along crag past several bolted sport routes to a corner. Loosen Up ascends the steep face JUST LEFT of this corner (see photo).
Protection
6 bolts.
Anchors.

First and second clip easy some scouting, runout between 2-3, and last to anchors. Get your head straight for the push to the anchors. Feb 19, 2017
