I know this is a running joke around here, but most people from Cleveland go to the New, because of drive time and interstate architecture (77 goes straight from Cleveland to the new, basically). But the Red draws Ann Arbor, Detroit, Chicago, Northwestern U, Indy, Bloomington Indiana (40k college kids), Columbus, Cinci, Lexington, Louisville, Nashville, Chatty, and the ATL. And that's just what's within a very moderate ~6 hour driving radius.climb2core wrote:People from Ohio are the real reason the Red is so overcrowded with gymballs..rhunt wrote:I live in Columbus, Ohio and...
What's not to get? Open my horizons? I've been all over the Southeast. The Red is my favorite place to climb. The other four people that were responsible for choosing a place to climb also agreed that they enjoyed climbing there over other places. Once we were done with these trips, those who went on the trip, also agreed that the Red was better than the other destinations we've gone to. I'm sorry what's not to get? Isn't a matter of personal preference? So yes, we pass CLOSER and less CROWDED because we BELIEVE it is WORTH it. GET IT?EricDorsey wrote:I guess I dont get that point... You are passing other CLOSER and less CROWDED areas just to come to the red. Open your horizons, there are tons of awesome places in the south to climb just as good as the red. I don't understand such close minded people, but I guess thats why the red is so crowded cause everyone thinks its the only worthwhile place in the south to climb...Rotarypwr345704 wrote:when Climbers from Orlando decide that they're going to make a trip, and it 8 hours to LRC, 11 hours to Foster's and 13 hours to the Red, we ALWAYS pick the Red because of it's quality.
Pretty simple really. I don't get why you would drive an additional 4-6 hours past linville, the obed, Twall, foster falls etc etc to a place that is more crowded when I personally think the others are just as good. Of course its all personal opinion, I just don't understand it. I guess you just wanna be part of the sceneRotarypwr345704 wrote:What's not to get?I'm sorry what's not to get?
Yup. I typically go to the Lode, hangdog up everything, wear out permadraws and then take a shit underneath as many routes as I can. I then blame all the Eurotrash for taking the shit, and all the college dudebrahs for trashing everything/access issues. Then I go online at Miggies and bad mouth the Gorge in hopes that the masses will wise up and go elsewhere. Wake up, repeat.EricDorsey wrote:. I guess you just wanna be part of the scene
