Red river in late augst/early september?

[pja]

Hey all

I'm looking at taking a trip to the red around august 26th to september 3rd. I am concerned about the temperatures at this time though. I'm a northerly canuck, so I wouldn't be used overly used to heat. It is however up in the 30's here. Will the heat be bearable or should I look elsewhere? Many thanks!

usually quite good then and few people around... but you never know around here.

odds are it will be hot and humid (80-90f/70%) with a scattering of decent low humidity days (70-80f/50%)

it's gonna be shitty. hot and humid still. unfortunately it goes from too hot and humid to wet, cold, and overcrowded. better off looking for another venue with less hype surrounding it. unless of course you're just in it for the "social scene" (fairly similar sample group to any expensive university) and then there are plenty of others staying down here for the "lifestyle". if you're female you're sure to get plenty of attention from the male "dirtbags" (slang for uppermiddle class white kids form suburbia living partly on daddies coin) and if you're a dude you'll likely have some luck with all the chicks looking for some cheap self esteem. the new river gorge is great that time of year however

I though Roadside Crag was still closed.

Haha sweet, I'll be gettin all the ladies... I didn't really see the red as a climbing lifestlye place, but mayhaps my opinion will change after seeing the place first hand. The new is also on my list, if it's crazy hot at the red we'll backtrack to the new most likely.
