Spectacular moves, epic climb! Pure enjoyment going up. Did it twice just for the fun!
	5.12a	★★★ Scar Tissue	Sport 14m, 5	Red River Gorge		z_swander	Wed 9th Nov 2016
Fell off with my face next to the anchors, twice! Devoted, but early days in the trip.
	5.10d	★★ Jailbird	Sport	Red River Gorge	★ Good	z_swander	Wed 9th Nov 2016
I forgot how to hold small holds on a slab, felt nails in the sun.

Bouldery
	5.11d	★★★ Ro Shampo	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Will Dameron	Tue 9th Mar 2004

Great slab climb w lots of good crimpers along the way. Enjoyable moves.
	5.12a	★★★ Hippocrite - with Eric Godfrey	Sport 14m, 4	Red River Gorge		Tracey Hua	Fri 7th Oct 2016
Just couldn't stick the dyno... maybe having a small wing span to compress into the move is not very helpful...
	5.11b	★★ Geezers Go Sport - with Eric Godfrey	Sport 25m, 9	Red River Gorge		Tracey Hua	Fri 7th Oct 2016
Funzos
	5.10c	★★ One Brick Shy - with Eric Godfrey	Sport 8	Red River Gorge		Tracey Hua	Fri 7th Oct 2016
Yep, starting on 10s after a 25 hours of driving...
	5.7	★★ Father and Son	Trad 12m	Red River Gorge		Tim Nowaczyk	Fri 3rd Sep 2004
Good fun climb
	5.7	★★ casual viewing	Trad 21m	Red River Gorge		Tim Nowaczyk	Fri 3rd Sep 2004
A block fell off the rock which caused me to fall. If not for this, I would have climbed it clean.
	5.10a	★★ Kentucky Pinstripe	Sport 24m	Red River Gorge		Tim Nowaczyk	Fri 3rd Sep 2004
We saw this bolted route and decided to climb it without knowing the rating. Doug said it was "7 or 8ish" so I gave it a go. This turned out to be pretty hard.
	5.11b	★★ Monkey in the Middle - with Matt Schimke, o_g	Sport 25m, 8	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Susy G	Wed 21st Oct 2015
Great climbing
	5.10a	★★ Chimp - with Matt Schimke, o_g	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Susy G	Wed 21st Oct 2015

First attempt in the Red
	5.7	★ C Sharp or B Flat	Sport 20m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Steve Marr	Sat 8th May 1999
First successful climb I can remember
	5.7	★ C Sharp or B Flat	Sport 20m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Steve Foy	Mon 12th Jun 2006
Way better than Ledger line, the route right next to it. Really cool start if you go direct. Kinda wigged out when alex started talking to the rest of the group about the runout, and my concious mental blocks then became more noticeable. I noticed that I often caught the top of my toe on the rock, which makes me think that I'm dragging my feet and holding back from committing completely to the moves. I've been kinda bothered by some bad news about the new job, so this kinda threw my mental game off.
	5.9	★★ Andromeda Strain	Trad 27m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Thu 8th Jun 2006
Way burly trad route, really need to work on the liebacking skills. I took a fall off of the route about 5 feet from the top from sheer exhaustion.
	5.10b	★★ You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Steve Foy	Tue 10th May 2005
Amazing view from the anchors.
	5.10b	★★ A.W.O.L.	Sport 15m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Steve Foy	Mon 12th Jun 2006
Good red river gorge overhanging pump fest. I wouldn't say this was 10c though, book lists it I think more correctly as 10a. Anywho, I went into this climb not looking to onsight, but it just went so smoothly and with good technique that I was able to take advantage of good form and breathing control.
	5.10b	★★ You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Steve Foy	Mon 12th Jun 2006
Dirty as shit up top, had some trouble figuring out the crux.
	5.8	★★ Five Finger Discount	Trad 15m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Thu 8th Jun 2006
First time on it got a little wigged out, had trouble deciding how much gear to place and where. Took a rest on a piece and then moved up a move or two and found a sweet ass ledge that I should have just pulled through to.
	5.8	★★ Five Finger Discount	Trad 15m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Thu 8th Jun 2006
Took just the gear I knew I would need, and now that I knew about that sweet ledge and the bomber placements, I flew right through this sweet finger crack. Favorite climb of the trip.
	5.7	★★★ Roadside Attraction	Trad 43m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Thu 8th Jun 2006
Awesome route, but long and commiting as shit for me. Placed almost my entire rack but for nuts and tricams, still was run out though. Really freaked me out like 50-75 feet of C crack traverse. Anchors for the first belay are way the hell up there. Lots of pretty good hexes in camming mode. Not 100% confident in them though, but I wouldn't have been able to climb and protect it otherwise. Was so intent on keeping the #3 camalot on my rack for up top that I never placed it, which was pretty stupid on my part as it would have given me huge piece of mind. Also, instead of rapping off of the tree, I would prefer to rap off the first anchor, would be much safer.

#donutsends #hard
	5.12a	★★ Way Up Yonder	Sport 29m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Sick Tom	Tue 13th Apr 2010
11a first pitch
	5.11c	★★★ No Place Like Home	Sport 30m, 9	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Scott Brown	Tue 13th Apr 2010
A bad ass climb, wicked fun!
	5.10d	★★ Just Duet	Sport	Red River Gorge	★ Good	scott alexander	Sat 14th Oct 2006
first climb after 8 hrs. of driving
	5.10b	FA ★★ You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Ryan Lee Charles Griffin	Sun 14th May 2006
Great climb but some loose rocks still... not many people climb it...
	5.9	★ Trouble Clef	Sport 24m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Ryan Bailey	Sun 23rd Mar 2008
End of the day, just pumped out. Will definitely send next time i get there
	5.12a	★★★ Scar Tissue - with Gareth Llewellin, Bernie Walsh	Sport 14m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Rob Saunders	Sun 1st Nov 2015
Is very good line, but not on a moist Kentucky day. bottom holds wet. Big holds, nice moves and a crux before the anchor.
	5.12a	★★★ Scar Tissue - with Gareth Llewellin, Bernie Walsh	Sport 14m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Rob Saunders	Sun 1st Nov 2015
Is very good line, but not on a moist Kentucky day. bottom holds wet. Big holds, nice moves and a crux before the anchor.
	5.11c	★★ Lynx Jinx - with Gareth Llewellin, Bernie Walsh	Sport 21m, 7	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Rob Saunders	Sun 1st Nov 2015
Very Exciting route as the first draw came completely off when i passed it. Luckily i could put it back on and didn't fall a long way to the deck! Still got the onsight! memorable...
	5.11b	★★ Geezers Go Sport - with Gareth Llewellin, Bernie Walsh	Sport 25m, 9	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Rob Saunders	Sun 1st Nov 2015
good fun. long and pumpy..
	5.11c	★★★ Hippopotomoose - with Gareth Llewellin, Bernie Walsh	Sport 24m, 8	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Rob Saunders	Sun 1st Nov 2015
was a good line. tough and moist on the day and i ran out of juice...
	5.10a	★ Rest Assured	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Rob Saunders	Thu 5th Nov 2015
Nice warm up. good moves. bit damp at the bottom.
	5.12a	★★ Us and Them - with Gareth Llewellin	Sport 21m, 7	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Rob Saunders	Thu 5th Nov 2015
Great quality route. Good moves to a slopey and reachy crux. various sequences will work.
	5.12a	★★ Us and Them - with Gareth Llewellin	Sport 21m, 7	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Rob Saunders	Thu 5th Nov 2015
With the beta sorted it went clean second time. Great fun line
	5.10d	★★ Pocket Pussy - with Gareth Llewellin	Sport 15m, 6	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Rob Saunders	Thu 5th Nov 2015
Fun climbing. Last route of a great day.
	5.11d	★★ Sex Show - with Gareth Llewellin	Sport 15m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Rob Saunders	Thu 5th Nov 2015
Steep and sustained right to the top. Same wall, more great moves!
	5.11d	★★ Seek the Truth - with Gareth Llewellin	Sport 15m, 4	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Rob Saunders	Thu 5th Nov 2015
Even more steepness! Not as well cleaned or traffic'd but still a great line with big moves a reasonable rest.
	5.12a	★★ Morning Wood - with Rob Saunders	Sport	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Rob Saunders	Sat 13th May 2017
Hard and steep down low to work out the powerful pockety boulder sequence.
	5.12a	★★ Morning Wood - with dru mack	Sport	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Rob Saunders	Sat 13th May 2017
Got it right second go. Through the second crux and motored on up to the anchors! Great line and a bit more grunt for the grade.
	5.11b	★★ On Beyond Zebra! - with Dru Mack	Sport 24m, 9	Red River Gorge		Rob Saunders	Mon 15th May 2017
Long warm up for the day. Waiting for Dru to smash out Zookeeper.
	5.11a	★ Skin the Cat - with Dru Mack	Sport 25m, 10	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Rob Saunders	Mon 15th May 2017
careful start over the void. Fun Climbing and a tricky ending.
	5.11d	★★★ Ro Shampo	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Rob Barker	1996
so, so close but never managed a clean lead
	5.6	★★ Eureka	Sport 26m, 8	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Raymond Kam	Wed 30th May 2012
A fun first lead for a new sport leader.
	5.7	★★ Father and Son	Trad 12m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Raymond Kam	Sat 26th Oct 2013
My first trad fall on a #3!
	5.7	★★ Casual Viewing	Trad 21m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Raymond Kam	Sat 26th Oct 2013
Excellent line with great gear. Lots of stemming and layback moves.
	5.7	★★ Father and Son	Trad 12m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Raymond Kam	Sun 4th Sep 2016
An excellent route with great protection.
	5.7	★★ Vision	Trad 24m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Raymond Kam	Sun 4th Sep 2016
Excellent climb. Starts with fingers and then leads to a nice hand crack. Fun!
	5.12a	★★★ Scar Tissue	Sport 14m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Raymond Kam	Thu 8th Sep 2016
Got on this thinking it was a 5.11. Was very wrong. A bouldery start off slimey green rock leads to very steep climbing until the crux.....at the anchors.
	5.7	★★★ Roadside Attraction	Trad 43m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Raymond Kam	Sat 10th Sep 2016
It really is an amazing line. Splitter hand crack for 2 pitches. Low angle for the first pitch. Second pitch is more vertical. The crux is a slight offwidth section guarding the end of the 2nd pitch; layback and squeeze your body in the crack! Standard rack; I used a #5 in the offwidth section to make things feel better.
	5.9	★ Jump For Joy	Sport 15m, 4	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Raymond Kam	Sat 10th Sep 2016
A contrived dyno crux start with high potential for ground fall leads to an otherwise pleasant face climb. Stick clip the second bolt.
	5.10a	★ Fadda	Sport 15m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Raymond Kam	Sat 10th Sep 2016
A beautiful, technical face climb. Fun!
	5.11b	★★ Geezers Go Sport	Sport 25m, 9	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Raine Bianchini	Sat 23rd Mar 2024
Jesus the finish was desperate for me
	5.11c ~5.12b	Disappear	Sport 21m, 7	Red River Gorge		Raine Bianchini	Tue 9th Apr 2024
Direct line has a crux that feels harder than any of the 12as I have tried here. But there is a traverse away from the bolt that is maybe 11c? Rest of the climb is easy and so much fun
	5.12a	★★★ Hippocrite	Sport 14m, 4	Red River Gorge		Raine Bianchini	Fri 19th Apr 2024
Made it to the last bolt and gave up 😭
	5.11b	★★ Monkey in the Middle	Sport 25m, 8	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Patrick Iseli	Fri 22nd Apr 2022
Rest day climb
	5.12a	★★★ Hippocrite	Sport 14m, 4	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Patrick Iseli	Sun 24th Apr 2022
2 falls
	5.10b	★★ A.W.O.L. - with gl	Sport 15m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	o_g	Sat 24th Oct 2015
So busy, all day. Good climb, continually climbed from 10 till 430.
	5.10d	★★ Dragonslayer - with jess	Sport 15m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	o_g	Sat 24th Oct 2015
Great climbing. Amazing double mono move down low, need to stick clip the first bolt for that to not be scary. Gets a bit close to the route to the left.
	5.10c	★★ Crazyfingers - with sg	Sport 15m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	o_g	Sat 24th Oct 2015
This wall was busy on a raining Saturday. Jumped on this to warm up. Had to pull pretty hard on two finger pockets down low. Got pretty pumped trying to avoid the move, but pushed through.
	5.10d	★★ Pulling Pockets - with ms	Sport 15m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	o_g	Sat 24th Oct 2015
The four 510 routes on this Wall are all very similar, but the size of the pockets varies. This one has four finger pockets. Good stuff.
	5.12a	★★★ Stay the Hand - with ms, gl	Sport 15m	Red River Gorge		o_g	Sat 24th Oct 2015
Had a quick go at the bouldery start after belaying Matt while he worked it. Needless to say it didn't go well for me. Matt blitzed it later in the day in style.
	5.9	★ Tourist Trap	Sport 24m, 9	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	o_g	Wed 4th Nov 2015
The bottom section was wet and unpleasant. The top arete was great.
	5.11b	★★ Reciever	Sport 20m, 8	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	o_g	Wed 4th Nov 2015
These 5.11s were great.
	5.11c	★★★ Centerfire	Sport 23m, 8	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	o_g	Wed 4th Nov 2015
Tried to move to quickly through the middle section and fell off. Great route.
	5.11a	★★★ Bandolier	Sport 21m, 7	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	o_g	Wed 4th Nov 2015
Stellar lower wall, and a pump overhanging flake finish. Though I was going to pump off while clipping, but held it together.
	5.9	★★ Wadcutter	Sport 15m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	o_g	Wed 4th Nov 2015
Amazing shotgun pockets. Not often you can use twin split 5 finger pockets to pull a move (I.e ten mono pockets....).
	5.11c	★ Misfire	Sport 17m, 6	Red River Gorge	★ Good	o_g	Mon 9th Nov 2015
Last route of the day. Climbs better than it looks. Powerful boulder problem crux slapping the blocky arete. Pumpy up high.
	5.11b 5.11d	★★ Recoil	Sport 17m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	o_g	Mon 9th Nov 2015
Graded 11d, but felt a grade or two easier to me. Really good moves.
	5.11b	★ Del Boy	Sport 23m, 9	Red River Gorge	★ Good	o_g	Mon 9th Nov 2015
Some grotty rock down low, but a fun journey winding up the wall.
	5.10d	★★ Pocket Pussy	Sport 15m, 6	Red River Gorge	★ Good	o_g	Mon 9th Nov 2015
Steep warm up.
	5.11d	★★ Sex Show	Sport 15m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	o_g	Mon 9th Nov 2015
Wow, this was super sustained. Had to hang around to try to recover at mid height. I was thankful the draws were on, especially on the Anchors.
	5.10d	★★ Pocket Pussy	Sport 15m, 6	Red River Gorge	★ Good	noelle n.	Mon 30th May 2005
pumpy
	5.12a	★★★ Scar Tissue	Sport 14m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Noah Boudreau-Richard	Fri 18th Oct 2019
Fell at the last move on my onsight attempt... Sent it on the next go.
	5.10a	★★ Chimp	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Noah Boudreau-Richard	Fri 18th Oct 2019
Very nice technical moves up a not so easy slab.
	5.9	The Gunner	Sport	Red River Gorge	Don't Bother	Noah Boudreau-Richard	Fri 18th Oct 2019
Meh.
	5.11a	★★ Snake Charmer	Sport 20m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Noah Boudreau-Richard	Fri 18th Oct 2019
Long. Beautiful.
	5.11d	★★★ Ro Shampo	Sport 18m	Red River Gorge		Noah Boudreau-Richard	Tue 5th Nov 2019
Listed as 12a in the guide book and MP. I thihnk this would be acurate if you're shorter or less power oriented. Since that is the main style of the red, I think 11d is fitting.
	5.7	★★ Vision	Trad 24m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Nicholas Yaskoff	Mon 24th Oct 2005
Great Jams
	5.7	★★★ Roadside Attraction	Trad 43m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Michael Connolly	Fri 13th Sep 2002
That crack gets WIDE at the top!!
	5.7	★ C Sharp or B Flat	Sport 20m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Melvin Jones	Sun 19th Sep 2004

	5.7	★ C Sharp or B Flat	Sport 20m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Megan	Thu 3rd Feb 2005
