Buy a rope, go to a popular crag and almost every route will have draws on it by 11 am. I am sure people won't mind you running through them and cleaning it for them. Or buy 2 draws and have someone set up a TR for you. Or there are many routes with perma draws on or semi permas as people are leaving up their gear for the fall.

Hi,

I read your posts about finding a climbing mate and I am looking for one as well ! I do not know if it is easy to find one once I am there but that would be cool to catch up and climb a bit ! I will be coming over from France to RRG on Wednesday the 13th of Oct. (via Cincinnati) and will be staying until Sunday.

I have a rope and quickdraws that I can bring with me if that helps. I climb 5.12's but that does not matter at this point, I would be glad to be able to climb in any grade !

Please let me know if anyone is interested
Cedric

There's not any quality bouldering in southern IN either. Chossy shitty shit. And renting a bouldering pad? Probably not gonna happen in Indiana or The Red... At least I've never heard of it. There is a decent bouldering area in Morehead, KY called Clack Mtn. but still may not be worth the drive. If you don't have money for a rope and gear, pawn or sell your most expensive possessions, invest in gear, go to The Red, and climb some beautiful routes. It'll definitely be worth it.
