A Rock Climbing Guidebook to the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. Volume 1: Northern
Regions
The Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky is one of the best rock climbing areas
in the world. Its solid, well-featured sandstone makes for steep, spectacular
climbing, with almost 2000 established routes, from traditionally protected
cracks to some of the hardest sport climbs in America.
This book, Volume 1 of a two-volume series, covers the northern half of the
Red River Gorge, i.e those cliffs that lie north of Miguel’s Pizza and the
Mountain Parkway. Most cliffs in this region lie on Forest Service land. The
most popular include Military Wall, Left Flank, Long Wall, and Funk Rock City.
