yeah...living at the New would be a problem..So maybe stay in Lexington and climb at the New for a few months then get back to the Red with a new attitude!
Plus maybe we'll have some new crags opened up soon in the Murray property!

you have created a huge resource here for all to enjoy. you deserve much thanks.
No problem botty. You don't happen to drive a tannish pickup with a really nice matching cap do you? I think I may have spotted what I imagine you to look like on the way home from the Red during Rocktoberfest.
Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions.
Thinking about leaving the Red gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. Plus, Lexington is such a great city to live in.
I guess I'll just have to travel a bit more to get my wide crack fix. That, and focus on projects and sport climbing. I mean, we do have some of the best sport climbing in the world.
In the end though, I am going to retire to Vedauwoo and butt scrape my way to paralysis on the hundreds of roof problems it has to offer.

Trad FAs. You just needed to ask me. I have a list for you. Most aren't too far off the beaten path either.

SCIN,
Appalachian Spring is ready and waiting
I still haven't gotten to it yet...been distracted by too many other cool climbs
Although you do realize you'll have to change your user ID if you free your mind and enjoy both sides of the game. Check with T-bone...it looks like he's got a good handle on how to keep climbing at the Red for many years and reamain a satisfied customer 8)

SCIN change his ID, now thats total blasphemy! Moving away from the Red is just plain stupid!
We'd certainly hate to see you go!

Dude, take a vacation and come down to Dawson for a weekend. It will give you breathing time and I'll keep you busy on crack projects all weekend.

HOLD IT, STOP THE PRESS!
You can't leave the Red not having sent Mercy The Huff at Left Flank. Come one dude! I know you have done plenty of 12 sport routes at the Red but you have got to add this one to your list... as an aficionado of vertical movement even the most stalwart or trad climber could appreciate this line. This thing is pure fun. I have heard it called the best 12B on the planet by several climbers..even guys I ran into out West that would just ask about this climb out of the blue.
