New Kids On The what? Did you used to dig them?
I am glad that I am here too. Don't take it all so personally. You don't have any control over the fact that the stone in the Red lends itself to great bolted face climbs and that while there are prolly some pretty good trad routes ain't nobody traveling from very far away to climb them.
I'm not bagging on you or your routes. I am just saying that the best routes in the Red are sport routes. Yeah there are some good trad lines, just like there are some good boulder problems in the Red. Is there a wall like the cookie cliff with 50 bad ass trad lines at the Red? NO. There are however several walls with 50 bad ass sport routes. Get over it, bitch!

Okay, enough of all the fighting. Can't there be good trad lines AND good sport lines? The Red River Gorge is the BEST!

Maybe you can't read....

I agree with Buster. Numbers may show that there are more trad lines than sport lines at the Red but we are not comparing 5.6 choss piles to 5.12a classis sport routes. Comparing classic sport routes to classic trad r o u t e s....way more sport routes.

My 2 cents...

Fortunately we've got the best of both worlds here. Awesome trad lines and world class sport lines. Just do both and you've got a lifetime supply of climbing.
