On January 20, 2004, the RRGCC purchased the Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve (PMRP), a 750 acre tract of land. Realizing the fragility of access to climbing on private land in the Red River Gorge area, the Murray Property was identified by the RRGCC as containing a significant amount of existing climbing routes with a number of quality cliffs. The purchase of the PMRP is important because it secures access to an area containing over 590 existing climbing routes. In short, “if we own it, they can’t close it!”
In the following years, the land has been developed for public enjoyment through the creation of hiking paths, mountain biking trails, and of course more rock climbing. July 15, 2012 marked the final payment of the property, now renamed the Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve. The land will forever remain open to climbing.
