Planning a trip to the Red... looking for a little beta.

Post by NE climber »

Can anyone tell me which sections of the Red might have a high concentration of 9 and 10 sport routes, as well as 7 + 8 trad routes? There are so many locations there that a little kick in the right direction would help. Thanks.

Check out Foxfire for a stellar 5.7 trad, 3-4 pitches.

Do you climb in Rumney or does the NE stand for something other than North East?

Roadside has a nice mix of trad and sport. You might also look at:

Funk Rock
Pebble Beach
Purple Valley
Sky bridge (a bit harder routes, but a great mix)
Long wall

Oh, and foxfire sucks. I have no idea why people like that thing.

Have you looked at the online guide? It has all your answers! :) http://www.redriverclimbing.com/RRCGuideV2/

Use the search option and type the following in the text box:
sport routes first sorted by wall then sorted by grade

For the rating option specify 5.9 and 5.10

Change up the ratings to 5.7 and 5.8 and "sport" to "trad in the text box and there's your other info.

Have fun!
