Re: Storage units near The Red

I am acquainted to the guy who owns Safe Storage in Nicholasville and Lexington KY. http://www.safestorage.com/

I've rented a unit from him in the past. All units are kept behind a locked gate, and have a lock on the door. I recommend it.

Redpoint,

As far as I know, you can register on Mountain Project and will then be able to add areas and routes. If you want to start over and/or use the info I already put up, go for it.

Re: Looking for partner for Sat Nov 23rd

Hello European Brother, I have gotten lost in Kentucky's valleys before, but by now I am a fairly good navigator. I'd like to meet up and climb. I lead 5.8 trad, 5.9-10 Sport, and will be happy to belay you on some harder stuff so you can experience the best the Red has to offer. I have ropes and a ...

Re: MV anchor cleaning accident

I will not attempt to answer any, only highlight some of the issues raised… 1. What, if any is/are the climbing partner(s)/belayer’s duty/involvement to assist the rappelling climber? Eyes on the ground? None? 2. What should/can experienced climbers offer less experienced climbers in their vicinity...
