id say check the weather man on thursday before you leave. Thats your best bet for a semi accurate forecast.
if conditions arn't prime keep driving south, or east.

uh, it's usually pretty cold, but the friction is good that way 
But go to places that get sun, and you warm right up and the climbing is great...plus the Red is usually pretty empty; it's not like you'll be waiting in lines to climb stuff.....
I usually go over spring break at that time also, but this year - we're going out west!

it can be really hit or miss in march. like everyone else is saying, check the weather just before you leave and make the decision. have back up plans further south, Tenesssee, Georgia, Alabama; take a look at the Dixie Craggers Atlas

It all depends on the weather, wouldn't you say? I don't think anyone here is a meteorologist.
Red River Gorge can provide 12 month climibng, it
s just a matter of picking the right days.

Hey man. Nobody can predict the weather two days out much less a week or more. Hell, last Sunday went from looking no good on Friday to good on Saturday to not good on the actual day. My party was already committed to getting out that day so we went for a real nice hike and saw the pretty snow in the gorge. Lots of folks climb right through the winter. You just have to commit to go if you want to go and have a plan b in mind in case the weathers crap. Asking for peoples opinion on here is more than useless.
