Great climb with a technical crux exit. Old school 5.9 crux. It's one of the better 5.9s I have been on with a lot of variety.

The route is a little polished from all the traffic. None the less, it's a must do if you are in the area. Just fun moderate climbing with great gear.

Big Sandy Bivy

Big Sandy was full of sand and made a great sleeping surface. Played flashlight tag with the valley. Woke up at 3:00AM after the moon went down to watch the Perseids meteor shower - Way Cool!

Rock Fall Summer 2003

Average Rating = 2.00/5 Rock Fall Summer 2003

Recent rock fall, with potential for more, funnels down the "death slabs" approach. Upon close inspection, I think the couple hundred foot tall remaining scar looks like a picture of something. You be the judge.

Rock Wars 5.10

Average Rating = 3.29/5 Rock Wars 5.10

My cousin, Jared, following up the first pitch of Rock Wars. This climb is my favorite 5.10 trad at the Red. This was Jared's first climb and first belay, ever. He's a natural. It was fun to watch other climbers expressions when I was teaching my cousin how to belay me with a GriGri for the first time on a 5.10 lead. One comment, "He's either really good or really stupid."

Snake Dike (Run Out)

Average Rating = 2.67/5 Snake Dike (Run Out)

Get adjusted, early, to the huge run outs (100ft plus). The climbing is very solid and confidence inspiring. Don't get off route like I did after pitch 4. It's really not off route, just a 5.7R variation

Snake Dike 5.7R

I'm at the finish of the first pitch of the route. It's a good warm up for the traversing above. I skipped the pro in the roof and felt fine without it.

Great White Book 5.6R

Average Rating = 2.33/5 Great White Book 5.6R

John following low on the route. The 5.3 quick finish runout is the scariest thing I have ever done. Falling is not an option.

Durrance 5.6, Devil's Tower

Average Rating = 2.50/5 Durrance 5.6, Devil's Tower

I'm starting the climb. Bring a #5 if you don't like run outs. It's a little wide going to the second belay. The #5 cam protects the cussing crack.

Fun layback / hand jam climb. I am at the finish. One of the best 5.9- in Red River Gorge. Sink gear deep because of fragile stone low on route.

Great Arch 5.5

Average Rating = 3.00/5 Great Arch 5.5

Me leading the first pitch of Great Arch 5.5. Definitely a calve burner. Easy climb but had to climb a run out 5.8 to get to the base. Easier approaches are available on alternate routes.
