Hey yáll:

I currently live in Colorado, but I am contemplating a move to kentucky to get my PhD in Spanish. I am quite obviously a glutton for punishment (e.g. I think off-widths are "fun").

Anyways, as you can imagin, leaving CO is difficult, but I am buyoed by the fact that the climbing in the Red kicks ass (so I´ve heard, but not experienced). Anybody mind dropping me a line with some info about the distance between the Red River Gorge and Lexington. I am also curious about other recreation opportunities from Lexington (climbing, mtn. biking, hiking). I am hoping to pass through the area in July and hope to find someone who I can buy a beer and pick their brain. I will fill you in on the spectacular climbing in Spain and Morroco. Any takers?

Thanks!

The RRG is about 1 to 1.5 hours drive from Lexington depending on where in the RRG you're going.

There are plenty OW's and boatloads of steep sport.
