i learned about it from rc.com, but cant find any more info for it on the web, i dont own the rrg guidebook since it is out of print, and just use the internet until now. can you give me some beta on it, for example, how to get there, what kind of pro, hard easy spots, how do i get down, hike off or rap, and are their rap anchors or ??????

the most accurate online route DB for the Red is here:
http://www.redriverclimbing.com/RRCGuideV2/index.php

however, i can't find the crag in question in your subject line.

there's Buzzard's Roost in the Eastern Gorge
there's Eagle Point Buttress in the Upper Gorge
there's Hen's Nest in the Middle Gorge
there's Buzzard Ridge in the Lower Gorge
there's Raven Rock in Gray's Branch

...but no Eagle's Nest.

[edit]i took the extra step of looking in the RC.com route DB for the crag in question and searched the RRC.com route DB for that route.

you're looking for Eagle Point Buttress[/edit]

then you're looking for a route that doesn't exist.

the route in the RC.com routes DB that you're looking at is, supposedly, Foxfire (5.7 R)
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...on.php?SectionID=379

here is that route in, and IMO more accurately, RRC.com's route DB
http://www.redriverclimbing.com/...how_route.php?id=900

it's 200' ....so you can break it up into 5 pitches if you want, but the description you're jonesing after is wrong
