So Im planning a trip out to WV in October and the Red is definitely on the list. The sport looks amazing, but I must admit that Im a crack-head at heart. I would like to get a list of the must do cracks. Difficulty is not important; Im really just looking for the 4 star classics. Any suggestions?
I am prepared to smoke a fatty rock with anyone who can provide useful info,
Agree with everything that's been mentioned so far. Add: Rock Wars (10a fingers/LB), Brontosaurus (10b), Return of Geoff Beene (10d splitter, fingers crux), Africa (9) and Arachnid (8), Dicey at Best (perfect 8+ OW corner), Jungle Beat (3 pitch 5.9), Sam I Am (10 something corner), Into the Purple Valley (8), Andromeda Strain (10a hand crack corner). That's about all I can think of now - learned to climb there (hence all the easier routes) and haven't been back for years now. Inhibitor, B3, and Synchronicity are definitely the MUST-DO easier 11s, that I recall. Enjoy the red, sure is fun when the humidity is down and it's not raining (i.e. in the fall!).
