I've been wondering this myself. The site refers you to the app, but I can't find the app on the site, nor in the Google Play Store. Does anyone have the beta?

Thanks Ray.  A note on the new site that it's a work in progress (and maybe a link to the old site) might be helpful for anyone who isn't familiar with the situation - otherwise they might think that is normal and just go back to MP.

I miss the advanced search so, so much. I loved being able to filter based on sunniness and dryness. I never even bothered to look at the forums, so my experience remains untainted: just pure appreciation for the generosity of Ray Ellington and co. in compiling all that great beta and making it available gratis. After using that tool, the lack of standardized sun/aspect and dryness info on MP stands out as a glaring and frustrating omission.

I don't have the luxury of picking perfect days or accruing extensive local knowledge at the RRG. Usually I can just squeeze in one or two unpredictable days when visiting family in the area, so all those filters were extra valuable for finding something that worked in whatever conditions. I even loved the "just gets the job done" feel of the tool.

Sadly, https://oldsite.redriverclimbing.com/RRCGuide/ seems to be down, and the app/new site does not allow for the same level of granularity in filtering (though you can filter for "rainy day" routes) and I find the results harder to parse. It is still a helpful resource, but for me now ranks below the MP routefinder in utility. Nonetheless, we are entitled to none of this, and I remain hugely grateful to Ray and co. for all the effort they have put into both the old and the new resources.

It's under KY Bouldering instead of Red River Climbing.
