Short approach at the Red
|
Planning a trip to the Red and for the last day I'll have to leave early but was hoping to get one last session in. Does anyone know of good walls that have a short approach with climbs in the 11C-12B range? |

Graining Fork
Be sure to apply for the daily permit. I was able to get one the morning before I climbed. |

Phantasia is crazy short but you have to drive all the way to North gorge. I would stick around Natural bridge if you are staying at Miguel's. Roadside (Graining Fork) would be best as already said but the zoo, emerald city, or beer trailer would all be good too. |
|
Yep I would look into Military/Left Flank or Roadside (permit Required) and the Zoo. Redriverclimbing.com has an online guidebook that is great. |
|
Looks like there is a lot of good options, thanks everyone. |
|
I'd recommend the Beer Trailer Crag. Shortest approach in the gorge, and plenty of good routes in that grade range. Just make sure your tendons are warmed up. |

Get on King Me and Dave the Dude at Eastern Skybridge |

Drive By Crag |

Military and Left Flank are a good option...just through the Nada tunnel, easy to find. A nice little hike in, and huge concentration of climbs at that grade. |
