Is beg. of November a good time to climb in Red River Gorge?

Post by bonif »

I'll have a 10 days holiday on the East Coast, from the 2nd to the 10th of November.

Is this a good time to climb in the Red River Gorge?

* If not: where else may I go?
* If yes: any partners available during this time?

Thanks for your answers,
Xavier

Is beginning of November IN GENERAL a good time to climb at the Red? Sure.

Is this particular November? Well, the dates are close enough that you can see the weather forecast for yourself:

I see 5 nice days, couple crappy days, and some uncertainty for the end of the week.

I would say it is "certainly uncertain"! But it can still be good some days.
PM-me if you need more info (même en français)

If you're French, it's never a good time to climb at the Red. :D

Where are you on the East Coast? Trad or Sport?
Rain pattern looks pretty similar at these East Coast areas:
Gunks: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/N ... Y0990:1:US
New River Gorge: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/F ... V0246:1:US
Rumney: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/R ... H0196:1:US

I should be climbing at RRG next week from Nov 6 to Nov 10th.
Send me a message if you're looking for a partner for those dates.

Xavier,

What sort of climbing are you looking to do, and what range of grades?

If you're still looking for partners I may be able to make the 5th, 6th, 7th.

Dave
