Well this has been settled. I got a job in Richmond, Ky. and will start next week. Thanks to everyone for the advice and info. It came down to either Vegas or the Red, and my job search in Vegas didn't turn up anything. Obviously, the best part about all of this is that I will never have to drive th...

Hang it from the joists by some 2x6's with bolts that go through both the 2x6's and the joists. You may have to double up the joists fro a considerable span to prevent sagging. Build your 15 deg. campus board on one side. Then opposite the campus board, run some 2x6's from the bottom of your campus ...

Yeah, one of my concerns is being too far south and dealing with too much heat in the summer, as well as being too far north and having to deal with nasty winters. Lexington/Richmond fall into the roughly 37th or 38th parallel ( I think), which seem to me to contain the best weather in North America...

Dustin: I guess I didn't realize there was any concentration of good sport climbing in Alabama and Georgia, so choc that up to my ignorance, but it seems like Lexington is a pretty central location in regards to the majority of good climbing east of the mississippi.

Thats correct, I am not female, and while "find out for yourself" is amazingly insightful advice, I figured I'd ask people who might actually know firsthand. One thing I learned in the military was that it's not necessarily what you know, it's whether or not you know who to ask. So far the...

Yeah, I know being a more well rounded climber would open up even more options, but fact is right now, I'm not. Thats part of the reason I really need to live closer to outdoor climbing in the first place. Living in Michigan and climbing indoor 1-2 times a week sucks, and is not conducive to develop...

Chattanooga is on my list, but I thought Bishop was mostly bouldering (?). I'm open to trad, but realistically right now I'm a sport climber with a trad rack thats been gathering dust for several years.

Sorry, should have specified, where in the U.S. would you go?

So what's the best climbing town to live in? I recently (finally) graduated college, I'm single, have no debt and am looking to move to a cool town within an hour of a great sport climbing destination. My first thought was Lexington, as I've done 95% of my climbing in the red, but I know there's a l...

Best video ever.
