Can be sport climbed if you're willing to run out the 5.7 hand crack. Otherwise, bring a single no.1
	5.8	★★ Face Up to That Crack	Mixed trad 21m, 8	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Russell Wu	Wed 29th May 2024
Fun and varied movement, if you are comfortable at the grade it can be done as a run out sport climb.
	5.8	★★ Whiteout	Mixed trad 30m, 5	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Jim Clark	Wed 9th Sep 2015
Cool line. First pitch is mediocre but the dihedral is nice and exposed, good climbing and very aesthetic.

Very cool handcrack flake, but I only had one handcrack-sized cam. Channel the inner Honnold.

Nasty and stout for the grade. Extremely difficult move at the end.

lovely layback up to the roof. Barely made it through the crux with loads of resting on the rope

Awesome warm up hand crack. Trad is rad!

Great jamming with a surprisingly burly crux. I wouldnt want to do this if I was a 5.9 climber... nails!
	5.9	★★★ Autumn - with James Bailie	Trad 24m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Keyser	Sat 30th Mar 2024
Absolute sinker of handjams at the overhung crack made it so enjoybale. Great way to end a week in Red

Hung on the ledge because I freaked out. Ran out the end as I used all the cams that fit

Good fun climb
	5.7	★★ Party Time	Trad 43m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Tue 13th Jun 2006
Placed only 3 pieces on the first pitch, as I kept wasting time and effort screwing around with those darn hexes. It turned out that I only placed #2,3,4 camalots. Dan led the second pitch. I should have set up the first pitch belay anchors a little cleaner, utilizing the mimalist method of clipping in with the rope direct to save on slings that Dan could have used on the second pitch.

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.

hope you don't have to stack nuts at the top too
	5.7	★★ Environmental Impact	Trad 40m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Steve Foy	Fri 9th Jun 2006
Borrowed a #1 camalot, and 3 wild country tech friends. Now that I could fire in pro near the bottom w/o messing w/ hexes, this sent pretty easily. Placed two #1's in bottom, then threw in the purple hex at the bottom of the wide section. Followed that up with a .75 and #2 camalots near the top.
	5.10a	★★★ Rock Wars	Trad 24m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Luke Stefurak	Tue 14th Mar 2006
Amazing Laybacking!! perfect cams the whole way, yellow aliens for like 50 feet!! Then to a no hands rest to a much steeper finish, I managed to drop a cam on this last section.. OOPS!!
	5.8	★★★ It Ain't Over Yet	Trad 18m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Tom	Tue 13th Apr 2010
One of the best in the Red for its grade!
	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	★★★ Rock Wars	Trad 24m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Dameron	Fri 12th Mar 2004
Some consider it to be 10a to the top set of anchors - all I know is it is one amazing incredibly fun climb - and make sure you don't just finish at the bottom set of anchors, the 'in your face' headwall and handcrack to the top set of anchors are as classic as the lower section, and a perfect way to finish the climb.
	5.7	★★ Environmental Impact	Trad 40m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Steve Foy	Fri 9th Jun 2006
Small hands to full hands @ switch to slab. Kinda cool, really wigged me out though as I didn't know what to expect and tried to mess around for too long with green and red hexes. I ended up leap frogging a #1 camalot for the bottom section, and never leaving it in the crack. Would send easy with a couple extra #1 camalots and lunch. Placed a red hex at beginning in shallow stopper mode, frogged a #1 camalot, #4 camalot or purple hexentric for the wide section. Threw in a bomber .75 camalot right above, and then a super sweet #2 camalot before the anchors.

Awesome! Great area to hang out and learn about the Gorge
	5.6	★★★ Bedtime for Bonzo	Trad 30m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Megan	Sun 29th May 2005
I led the first pitch (first trad fall/slide, lowered and got it clean). Boer led the second.

	5.8	★★ Bombs Bursting	Trad 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Tue 13th Jun 2006
This route had a lot of pretty darn strenuous liebacking. I got really wigged out and had to take on gear twice. I wasted a lot of time messing around with a blue hexentric near the bottom, and ended up just throwing in my #2 or #3 camalot. The crack was really shallow in some places, and I wasted a lot of time and energy trying to figure out what pieces to place and where. Easy but nerve racking roof section, as I was severely held back by my mental blocks of falling on gear.
	5.7	★★★ Roadside Attraction	Trad 43m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Wayne Novach	Mon 1st Jul 2002
first trad lead
	5.10d	★★ Synchronicity	Trad 15m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Kellie Murphy	Wed 28th May 2003
fun and exciting to push myself to a limit I had not yet experienced!
	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.
	5.6	★★★ bed time for bonzo	Trad 30m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Marr	Sun 23rd May 1999
Fun climb, good exposure on 2nd pitch
	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.

First time on real rock; fun climb after beginning.
	5.10d	★★ Synchronicity	Trad 15m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Luke Stefurak	Sun 14th Oct 2007
FINALLY!! Got the Red Point though i was really pumped. Took way too much time placing the gear. Would have liked to do it better.
	5.10a	★ Runnin' Down a Dream	Trad 23m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	clayton laramie	Sat 23rd Jul 2005
thinness at the top is tough when sweaty
	5.8	★★ Snake	Trad 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Tue 13th Jun 2006
Flipping out of the OW section was the crux of the route, but I thought the super bomber hand and finger jams made the route pretty darn cool. Placements were much better, but I still noticed significant mental blocks throughout the climb. Placed blue and gold stoppers at the bottom of the OW section, followed by purple, green, silver, and maybe even gold camalots.
	5.6	★★★ Bedtime for Bonzo	Trad 30m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Boer	Sun 29th May 2005
Megan led p1, I led p2. Had to take at the crux near the top.
	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.
	5.7	★ Calypso II	Trad 18m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Ryan Thompson	Wed 23rd Mar 2005
Nice flakes, however I did not use feet and pumped out making it difficult to pull out the cams.
	5.7	★★★ Roadside Attraction	Trad 43m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Greg Kambitsch	2003
fun climb, great view
	5.9	★★ Big Money	Trad 21m	Red River Gorge	★★ Very Good	Steve Foy	Fri 9th Jun 2006
Fell on top rope trying to figure out the roof move. Lieback section was super strenuous, and the roof move was super cool. Rest of the route is pretty straightforward after that. Anchors were kinda sketchy. The book says to rappel off a tree but we couldn't find a good tree to rappel from, so we just rapped off the old bolts.
	5.5	Route 48	Trad 18m	Red River Gorge	★ Good	Megan	Sun 29th May 2005

Trad climbing! What the?
	5.10a	★★★ Rock Wars - with Sam	Trad 24m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Lee Cujes	Fri 26th Oct 2012
Super fingercrack flake which has been worn smooth by 20+ years of constant traffic. So glorious. Van Halen climbed this.
	5.11b	★★★ B3 - with Sam	Trad 30m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Lee Cujes	Fri 26th Oct 2012
Hardest I worked all day. Pretty epic trad route given 5 stars. Only 1 usable cam for the first 15m. Climbing high twenties sport routes is surely the key to being able to JUST get up something like this

	5.7	Old School Chocolate	Trad 17m	Red River Gorge	Average	David Gibbs	Sat 19th Apr 2014
Good gear low down, but not higher. Climb seemed far more difficult than the 5.9 sport I climbed first. I took a fall, banged up my right heel, and was done for the trip. X-Rays show no break, though.
	5.7	★★ Father and Son	Trad 12m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Raymond Kam	Sat 26th Oct 2013
My first trad fall on a #3!

Excellent line with great gear. Lots of stemming and layback moves.
	5.6	★★★ Diamond In The Crack	Trad 37m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Raymond Kam	Thu 31st May 2012
An excellent 2 pitch climb. Exciting approach (cross a river).
	5.6	★★★ bed time for bonzo	Trad 30m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Raymond Kam	Fri 11th May 2012
My first multipitch climb!
	5.6	★★★ Bedtime for Bonzo (Bed ime for Bonzo)	Trad 30m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Raymond Kam	Sat 10th Oct 2015
An amazing route that is worth the lineup. Fist jam through the crux and stand up top to enjoy the beautiful view! Bring two #3 Camalot C4s for the crux.
	5.8	★★ Snake	Trad 18m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Classic	Raymond Kam	Sat 10th Oct 2015
An excellent route that starts with an awkward off width section and transitions to an enjoyable finger and hand crack section.
	5.9	★★★ Blue Runner	Trad 18m	Red River Gorge	★★★ Mega Classic	Raymond Kam	Sat 10th Oct 2015
This climb has it all! It starts with a pumpy overhang section with some hand jamming and transitions into stemming in a left facing dihedral with a thin crack (bring small gear for this crux section; 000 or 00 Camalot C3 and/or small nuts). It finishes with an off width section. Bring a #5 Camalot C4 to make the moves feel better. Phenomenal climb!
