Red River Gorge 10/2-10/4

Carl, Jeff, Jen and I trekked the 10 hours down to The Red for a weekend of sport climbing on some world class sandstone. We made it in to Miguel’s late Friday night and after breakfast on Saturday, were joined by Ellen and her friend at The Great Wall in Muir Valley. While Jeff and Carl started on a 5.10, the rest of us headed to Legends of Limonite—a beautiful 5.8 with an exciting start! We crushed a few other routes at The Great Wall (Edge-a-Sketch, Ohio Arts, Mamma Cindy, La Escalada) before moving to The Hideout to run up Boltergeist and proceed to The Solarium to attempt (and let Jeff crush) Manifest Destiny and Banshee before the sun went down.

Ice climbing season is in full swing!
