Here are a few pictures from our latest trip to the Red River Gorge near Slade, Kentucky. When we arrived, I had pneumonia, so mostly I just hung out at the crag, though I did manage to get in a few routes towards the end of the trip.
The copperhead that almost bit Sean, and
the black rat the came wandering out of the start hold.




Sean on his way up Phantasia, and some
shots at the Motherlode.






Miguel's Pizza, still run by Miguel,
Susan and Dario, now has an extensive pro shop and room for 100+
climbers to camp on the lawn.
