I just left Florida in February and went straight to red river gorge for my first time. That place is rad. 

Love, love the Red! (even though there's not a ton below 10, which is where I usually am outside). Can't argue with Miguel's!

There's more below 10 than most places....if you like high quality easy routes though check out HCR

He's saying you would need the strength balance range of motion and technique of an Olympic level gymnastics champ to climb 5 14 in just one year. 

Also I've never seen a gym set 5.14 cause people who climb 5.14 climb outside. And I doubt Florida offers any crag period and definitely not one with 5.14 to project on.

I agree that you will need to be a athlete to climb 5.14. Maybe more so in the gym than outside.  The SLC Front sets 5.14's and I think they have more gymnastic movement on them than most outside 5.14's.   The holds tend to be more friendly though.

In general for the gym's I frequent, I find below 5.12b in the gym to be easy compared to outside but by 12c it crosses over and by 13b outside is significantly easier. This may be that I am not average height and prefer static movement and small crimps to jumping and compression slopers.

Wait I forgot, their is a 5.14 Route in my gym. It was that route that made me want to climb a 14, but it’s a crack climbing route which I’m not interested into. And a lot of people have said that it’s harder than a 4.14

My gym has a 5.14 crack route, some people say it’s harder than a 5.14.  The gym name is Project rock climbing

It’s your chances of climbing 5.14 in one year (indoors of course). Also it’s the grade given for your troll effort, although I’d bump it up to 8/10 because of this Paul guy falling hard in his effort to spray down mp.

Yeah, he was really on a roll until this last page...

I ran out of wisdom to share. Didn't last long, eh? You've got the baton now.  This is actually where the trolling was supposed to begin, for the survivability of this thread. The likes on the posts dropped significantly. That's a good troll! Deuces!

am I missing something? Are we talking about gym climbing 5.14? Im no prodigy, started climbing at 35, am getting on 5.12s in my gym, yet my hardest redpoint east of the Mississippi is 10c. Most 11s shut me down. In my gym, however, I get a little frustrated if I don't onsight 5.11.

point being, until we start talking about verified OUTDOOR 5.14 routes, this entire conversation revolves around likely 19 year old Florida kids, making minimum wage, screwing plastic onto walls, thinking up a "catchy" name for the route and calling it 5.12c. give me a break.

Your comment is partially right. People who climb 5.14 do climb outside, but they also climb inside and train in the gym. 
Boulder has at least three people who climb 5.15 and many who climb 5.14. I’ve seen a lot of them in the gym. In fact, one of them sets at the gym and routinely sets at least one .14a, along with boulder problems up to V12.

The gyms in Utah have 5.14s. Get to see Alex Puccio climb them.
