I'm going on a climbing trip to the Red River Gorge April 12th-24th. My wife will not be able to fly out until Sat 18th. So I'm looking for someone that would be able to fly out on the 12th and fly back on either the 18th or on our next rest day maybe 20th or 21st. I work for Skywest airlines and can get you a stand-by ticket on Delta from Denver to Cincinnati for about $100.
I've recently climbed 5.13a and have been training on overhanging 5.13- and 5.12+ in the gym. So I plan on spending most of my time on mid 5.12 to mid 5.13. This doesn't mean you have to climb those grades but if you can't lead 5.11 or catch a fall our climbing goals will be to far apart.
I know this is soon, I'm not expecting to find anyone, but if you are interested respond or email me and I'll get you more info.
Hi Nathan, My name is Bart Paull and I live in Boulder and I'm an IFMGA (three AMGA certifications) mountain guide. I am thinking very seriously about driving out to the Red in a few days, probably leaving by early next week. A friend of mine is staying there until the 11th (he is already there) and I would like to stay out there after he leaves, until the 18th or so ... So, if you are interested in joining up that is much more motivation for me to drive out ... I would fly, but driving is just so much cheaper for the two week or more stay. I climb up to about 13c, I have done many 13a and up. At the Red my main focus would be to climb some routes at the Darkside (particularly Darth Moll and The Force), where I have not had a chance to climb in the past, and at the Motherlode, which I have visited several times. If possible I would love to do a few other classics like Table of Colors and Orange Juice, if they're not too hot. I also love to trad climb, but this trip would probably be mainly a sport focus for me. It sounds like we are on a similar program. Let me know what you are thinking.
