Welcome to old Kentucky

HI

I'm looking for beta on that crack... Size - Gear - Etc... Anyone can tell me if it's likely to be wet in the Spring... I'm planning on going there early March and I would really like to try this climb.

Thanks

It's frequently wet. Bring off-finger sized stuff and smaller Aliens for the top. A couple of #1 Camalots wouldn't hurt either.

Is it likely to be wet??? Is it going to dry out if it doesn't rain for a few days???

Thanks

Man, it's really hard to say. If it rains hard it will stay wet for awhile.

You take your chances with the rain in March. Bring a bike too. 9 is still closed isn't it? Off fingers and real steep. I hope you send it. Some more video of it would be cool.

Yes 9 is still closed. Its been a great running track I hope it stays closed through June 17.

Sorry, I've never been to the Red... What do you mean 9 is closed? (actually what is 9... a road?) Can we still climb at Pebble Beach? Is Welcome to Old Kentucky still accesible? How long does it takes to get there?

9 is Forest Service Road 9 and it's closed because a section of it was washed out by heavy rains. You can still climb at Pebble Beach and the other crags that are accessed from 9 but you'll have to hike in from where the road is closed.

I haven't been back there since it's been closed so I couldn't tell you how long the hike would take. It's not that far and it's flat so I don't think it would be that bad.

Hike or Bike.
