"The west side of Route 421 is a solid climb near the coal mining town of Harlan in southeast Kentucky that does carry some traffic at times. A short shallow section at the beginning soon leads to more stout grade as the road heads uphill on a narrow roadway. The route clings to the east side of the mountain ridge over a fairly steady grade which eases slightly toward the top and the summit is unmarked but obvious." (This quote is presented with the approval of John Summerson, from his book, The Complete Guide to Climbing (by Bike), 2nd Edition, pg. 108.)
