5.12d Gene Wilder - with Will Vidler, Christopher Glastonbury Sport 23m Red River Gorge Mega Classic Mon 9th Dec 2019
3rd shot. Classic Frothy send: riding the darkness with a headlamp, spoogy conditions, and a water streak wetting key footers. Beautiful Buoux pockets to super techo slab, this route was made by Satan just for my pleasure . Despite some sources saying 13a, this is definitely only 12d, even after I broke off half the crux hold.

5.12c Stain - with Will Vidler, Ashlee Hendy, Christopher Glastonbury Sport 15m, 6 Red River Gorge Classic Sat 7th Dec 2019
Struggled in the cold today (numbed out on previous efforts), but managed to stick it out by skipping the final clip entirely.

 
5.12a
5.12a Snozzberries - with Will Vidler Sport 27m, 8 Red River Gorge Classic Sun 1st Dec 2019
An awesome climb linking rad features... with a healthy dose of committment. Felt more 11c to me.

 
5.12a Ball Scratcher - with Will Vidler Sport 12m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Sat 7th Dec 2019
Super short, but fun, committing gritstone slap-arete. Exciting in the wet, with a few moments of real panic.

 
5.11d
5.11d Grumpalump - with Will Vidler Sport 16m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Sun 1st Dec 2019
Its a good omen for a trip when you have to project the warmup as your first route in The Gorge... but I got there in the end. Super steep jugs with a brief pocketed bouldery crux.

 
5.11b
5.11b Trust in Jesus - with Will Vidler Sport 15m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Fri 13th Dec 2019
Jeebus, these are not good warmups. I had to try bloody hard not to fall off this. Short but sustained, fingery climbing.

 
5.11a
5.11a Injured Reserve - with Will Vidler, Christopher Glastonbury, Ashlee Hendy Sport 18m, 5 Red River Gorge Very Good Thu 5th Dec 2019
Basically a dawdle, with a v16 crux... even harder in the cold. Not a recommended warmup.

 
5.10c
5.10c Loompa - with Will Vidler, Christopher Glastonbury Sport 17m, 6 Red River Gorge Mega Classic Mon 9th Dec 2019
Even better, even more nails! Beautiful rock, steepness, pockets, body positions.

5.10a 5.10b Oompa - with Will Vidler Sport 17m, 6 Red River Gorge Classic Mon 9th Dec 2019
Ludicrous sandbag, but bloody spectacular even in miserable conditions. Steep pocket and funky body positions.

5.10a Wonkaholic - with Will Vidler Sport 17m, 7 Red River Gorge Very Good Sun 1st Dec 2019
A tad damp, though fun for a short blunt slabby arete. The crux was soloing up to the first bolt via some tenuous footers.
