I'm coming from Idaho to visit Cincinnati and I've never been to Red River Gorge. I'll only be there for a short time but I really want to check it out. Can anyone recommend an area/wall, etc. that is easily accessible for Sport routes ranging from 5.7 - 5.10?

All of Muir Valley.

I am not sure what you mean by easily accessible... There are very few approaches in the gorge longer than 20 minutes and most crags are within a half hour drive of eachother. But for lots of 7's-10's muir valley is going to be your best bet.

Bruise Bros wall, Land before time wall at Muir is pretty popular for that range.
Lots of good stuff at the Southern Region PMRP,
When exactly are you hoping to climb ?

land before time is nice, if you've already climbed everywhere else and want to escape the crowds. i'd go to bruise brother's first, mostly for the longer 10's.

phantasia could be what you're looking for.

Thanks for the info. I'm not exactly sure when we'll be able to climb yet. It depends on when my bro in-law and his wife can get out (that's who we're visiting in Cinci). You guys rock
