Slade, KY. - Graining Fork Nature Preserve, LLC, a company owned by Grant Stephens and John Haight, has purchased land that includes the famous Roadside Crag. This was a complex undertaking, requiring more than a year of legal, genealogical, and survey work to complete the purchase from over fifty heirs spread around the country.

Mr. Stephens' announcement on RedRiverClimbing says:

"We welcome input from the climbing community. Feel free to email me at gstephens@kyattorney.com if you have any questions or concerns. We acquired this property for the sole purpose of preserving it for climbing. If we had not done this then it would have been developed for cabins. I have personally spoken with individuals who were trying to get their hands on Roadside at the same time I was working on the project."
