Hi,

My school finishes at the end of April and i'm planning on coming down to the Red to do some steep pocket pulling. I have tons of questions to ask. it would be nice to get some input from you guys.
1- is Miguels open by Aptil 30th?
2- How much is it to camp at his place?
3- We only have ~5/6 days to climb we're climbing in the 10s, 11s and (on good days) 12s. We're would you suggest us to go to get a glimpse of the RRG experience...

Thanks in advance...

the usual areas are:roadside, military, left flank, torrent
some other good ones:phantasia, the zoo
no southern region except for the lode. might change by then though.

Miguels is open - has been for a bit now.

not sure how much to camp - what? $3 or something....$1 for 5 min shower.

The Zoo is cool

I am partial to Global/Lady Slipper area because it has some fun trad and some fun sport. If you like aretes do Kentucky Pinstripe...aaron what is it? 10a or b? either way it's fun even if I still can't nail the moves from bolt 2 to 3, damn my hobbit legs.

Enjoy

10b. balance is really the only thing no small holds or anything kinda slopey though.
global is OK. emerald city is awesome!

I lead it last weekend. Bet you never thought you would hear me say it ,but it was fun ! Good route.With a great handcrack route next to it that goes on forever,it makes a nice place to spend some hours with friends.The exposure is good to,dont forget to check out the view from the anchors. I gave KP a 10b.

vision would be my favorite 5.7 or whatever if only it wasn't for that tree root!

Yeah that thing needs a gasoline bath and a bic lighter.

i was thinking a pick axe but that would work too. i think it's called route maintenance or something.

I liked the tree root. It made the route more entertaining!
