I embarked on a spontaneous climbing trip to Kentucky after spending several days in peaceful Northern Wisconsin, evidently I can't stay put for to long... I hitched a ride with some climbing friends and after a full day of driving arrived late in the night at Miguel's Pizza and campground. I set up my tent despite the one broken tent pole and got some well needed rest. The next four days included lots of hard climbs, photography, great camp meals, and of course entertaining climbers, here are some of the highlights.
