Description Suggest change

This area offers a slew of overhanging 5.11s that pack the classic Red River Gorge pump into 65-70 feet of climbing. An excellent training crag to gain endurance for steep 5.12s. The aspect of this wall offers afternoon shade making it an excellent summer crag to sweat off of jugs.

Getting There Suggest change

Approach via the North Trail from the main parking lot. At the bottom of the North trail turn left onto the gravel valley floor road, stay right when the roads fork and cross a bridge paralleling the road. Find a sign in the next field and take the approach trail for Animal Crackers Wall, at the top of the hill turn left passing the small slab wall, Animal Crackers, and continuing along the cliff another few minutes, passing a large amphitheater, before arriving at the right side of Bibliotek.
