Hello all, being a new climber, I would foremost like to thank all of you who have have spent countless hours developing and maintaining the Red. This is my first year of climbing and I was wondering if the only type of rock at the Red was corbin sandstone? I am looking for any sport routes under 5.11. I would appreciate any feedback.

That's pretty much the rock type here. Lots of sub 5.11 routes in the guidebook.

As opposed to plastic rock, it's some of the best.

Tons of it right in the parking lots.

I remember Johnny's guide mentioning a climb on one of the limestone bands. I'm sure its trad though.

most of the sandstone sits on a limestone base such as natural bridge where there are limestone caves in the park.
