Access Issue: Land Owned by Muir Valley Nature Preserve
Details
Officially known as Muir Valley Nature Preserve, Muir Valley is one of Red River Gorge's crown jewels. Originally the area was privately owned by Rick and Liz Weber, but in March 2015 the Webers gifted the land to the non-profit Friends of Muir Valley (FOMV), a 501(c)3 organization. FOMV is now 100% responsible for the ownership, in addition to funding and up-keeping the property.
The valley is home to more than 30 separate climbing walls, all open to climbers at no charge, a $15 fee is charged per car for parking to offset maintenance costs.
Some important rules must be followed to ensure future access and enjoyment by all. A complete list can be found at muirvalley.org/tabs/#pills-1 , but the most important are listed below:

Description
This is a fun romp up some steep jugs. It looks more intimidating from the ground than it really is. I would also say it is higher quality than the guide suggests, despite having a few dirty sections.
Ape swing your way up some big flake and jug features until you reach the dubious iron oxide solution hole. Crux, figure out how to get past the solution hole and onto the flake feature above. Getting onto the flake is funky, but fun. Get a good stance for the last bolt, then move up the last flake and make a bit of a reach to get the anchors.
