The 2nd edition of the Red River Gorge Guidebook is on the horizon!

We're starting to accept climbing photos to include in the new guide. If you wish to submit action photos for possible inclusion, please send a low resolution image of the shots to photos@redriverclimbing.com with a subject line of "guidebook photos". The photos will be judged and the best ones will appear in the 2nd edition of The Red River Gorge climbing guidebook.

Please make sure the images you send are available at a minimum size of 1800 pixels by 2700 pixels (6"x9" at 300 dpi). You don't have to send the large resolution image initially. A low resolution copy will be fine for judging.

Thanks,
Ray

There's no hard deadline set yet but I think to say by the end of the year would be safe.

hi ray,

i'm not a photographer - or good enough to be in the book - but can i make a suggestion? can you put a WOMAN on the cover? all the guide books have pics of guys. women climb too. just a thought.

I'd vote for neither male or female. Let the gorge stand on its own on the cover; it's the hero. There are plenty of opportunities inside the book to showcase female/male climbers and to give a sense of scale to climbs.

As a side note, it might be a nice gesture to the larger commmunity to lose the dude that's flippin' everybody off.

And by the way, I've enjoyed my guidebook from the first day I got it. It's said so many times that it may seem trite, but I'll say it anyway, 'Thanks.'
