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
Climb up to the bottom of the massive hueco and follow the right side of it until the route veers out onto the face. Creep out onto small holds and pull hard up to the anchor.
Ray Ellington on Kipp's state at the time of the FA, "I couldn't believe he did it. He had some nasty bronchial infection and was falling on 5.11 just hours before from being so sick and weak. Then he goes out and sends this project," giving the route its name.
There is also a direct line of bolts that may have not seen an ascent yet.
