I'm going to be driving from NC to IA next week, and I'd like to stop at the Red for a day or two as it's on the way. The partner I thought could meet up can't, so I've been left with no other choice: trawling the bottom of the barrel here at RRC.com.

If anyone is planning on being out that day and wouldn't mind me tagging along, I'd be eternally grateful. I am not new to climbing, nor the Red, and I don't belay with a SUM. Had my partner been able to make it, we would have liked to get on climbs such as Super Slab, Samurai, Iniquity, and Swahili Slang. That being said, I'd be glad to get on anything at all.

Thanks for your consideration-

I only climb with people who use the SUM, sorry.

Victor, you beautiful bastard! What in the world are you doing trolling rrc.com? Isn't there enough climbing in the Front Range for you? Let me know if you ever make it back to this side of the Mississippi. The NRG has been beautiful this year. Haven't been to the Red since November, but I'm always game. Hope you're well-

Suppose I'm getting a little nostalgic for sandstone jug haulin'. I might be back to the Red in September for a week, and I'll definitely be making trips throughout next year. I'll be in touch.
