Description 

I recently moved to Pikeville, KY because of a job. I NEED somewhere to climb and began looking. I found out about some climbing in this park on the internet and went to take a look being only ~35 min away. Ranger told me how to get to a developed area. I looked around and saw about 8-10 sport routs and a few trad lines on a hard light colored sandstone. Not sure of the bolt quality. Also some toprope areas. Looks like 5.7 - 5.11?? A lot of room for development. Ranger spoke of wanting more climbing in the park! Will update this area when i get some climbing in. Need a partner.

Getting There 

Breaks Interstate Park is on the Kentucky, Virgina state line. Park in the State Line overlook parking area. Follow fence from overlook to the left. Where fence ends, head down through narrow gap and follow slope to right and you can't miss it. 10 min from truck.
