Eagle Point Buttress Rock Climbing

From the parking lot of the Junior Williamson Rest Area in Slade, turn left (north) on KY 11, drive 0.1 miles under the Mountain Parkway overpass to a "T" intersection with KY 15. Turn left (east) and continue for 1.5 miles, then turn right (north) on KY 77. This highway is also known as "Nada Tunnel Road", and you may see a street sign so designated at this intersection. Drive 4.4 miles through the tiny town of Nada, through the tunnel, and over the steel bridge (stay right after you cross the steel bridge) to the intersection with KY 715. KY 77 curves left near an old barn while KY 715 continues straight. Stay on KY 715 (do not take the curve to the left) for about 7.1 miles until you reach a one lane concrete bridge. Park just before the bridge on the left. Hike down to the river and NOT the osbourn bend trail, continue along the river upstream from the Concrete Bridge. Pay attention after passing a ledge traverse above the river. Look for a slabby, mossy boulder on the left right next to the trail. Soon after that there is a huge piano shaped boulder between the trail and the river. Just after the Piano Boulder you cross a muddy tributary and come to a flat open campsite. Take the road/trail that angles up the hill ahead of you, NOT the trail that continues along the river our of the campsite, shooting for a prominent tall buttress. When the trail nears the rock look for a faint trail that heads back left (west) along the base of the cliff. Look for a wide angling crack behind a large tree. This is the start of the route Foxfire. You don't need wide gear for this route.
