On the 27th of September 2012, I set off on my first solo climbing trip overseas! It was a bit of a mission getting to the Red. After 2 missed planes from San Francisco to Lexington and lost luggage. I finally found my feet after my belongings were returned and I had purchased all my cooking gear and food. Then the climbing was on!
So what is the climbing style in Red River Gorge?
My highlights were the awesome climbers, unique rock and easing into dirt bag life.
Here is a video of my experience! Enjoy :D
So what is the climbing style in Red River Gorge?
- Did you say pockets? Well its pockets galore!
- Long routes. Mainly around 30m. Word of advice keep on moving. FIGHT THAT PUMP!!!
- Plenty of sport and don't forget your trade rack.
- Bolts are usually well spaced, with a scary run out to the anchors.
- Steep thugging but quite a few classic slabs.
