Red River trad 5.9 and under suggestions?????

[Kevin Nilson]

I am planning on heading to the red in a few weeks. Does anyone have any
5.9 to 5.10a and under trad suggestion. I really love a great dihidral,
cracks work too. I want to make sure I don't miss any must do routes.
Thanks

American Crack 5.4
Route 48 5.5
Bedtime for Bonzo 5.6
I think it's called "Good Times" 5.7
All at Fortress Wall, and there's lots more, but these are all very good
climbs, if lower than what you're looking for.....

Pebble Beach area, definitely do Arrowhead 5.7 simply beautiful
Zambezi Plunge 5.8

In all honesty, there is so much climbing at the Red it's sick. I think
it would take you 10 climbing days just to LOOK at all the must do's.

There is a nice web site out there with an NG devoted to the Red's
climbing. Go to http://www.kywilderness.com/cgi/Ultimate.cgi and look at
the rock climbing NG. I think if you posted this message there you
would get a TORRENT of great info from a very friendly group of locals.

Ale81's to you!! (you'll understand once you're there!!)
