Any pictures? Any... moving pictures?

When I lived in Lexington I'd make an annual 2-4 week climbing trip to Colorado every summer. I found summer temperatures in Colorado downright pleasant compared to KY, almost no matter how hot. I would occasionally dust chalk on the black rubber rands of my climbing shoes to keep my feet from cooking in the sun. But really, there is almost no chance of it being too hot to climb.

Well done Andrew. Cool to see new stuff going up at Long Wall.

It's great to see these routes going up.

Had one of my best trips ever to the Red a couple of weeks ago. Even though I prefer trad, I usually get sucked into sport climbing by friends, but not this trip. Spent several days there, I lead 38 pitches, all but 6 were trad. Nothing really hard but it has to be the highest ratio of trad to sport I have ever done at the Red.

Yes, we did Caver's as well as Fox Fire. I had never done either one of them before. Both classics.

Props to Andrew G for sending his 89th 5.13 or up FA this year... Gingervitis at FRC. No prettier line in the Red IMO!!

89 5.13 FAs in a year...holy cow that is a beast

I like Andrew G as much as the next guy, and I find him very attractive, but Dustin is starting to scare me with his Andre G nut swinging.







or...





















maybe I am just jealous.

























good job Andrew G, way to hold down respect for the name Andrew. Lord knows i am not helping.
