Climbing Flashback Trifecta

some pix from our infamous (to us) road trip to the Red in Kentucky...

Biblical type rain (most rain in a 24 hr period in close to 100 yrs) in the area made for slim pickings climbing wise but we tried to make the most of it in the intermittent windows that provided micro windows to climb...it rained this hard for days!  note the tents underneath the shelter....we set up camp in the eating area at Linda's or else we would have needed a paddle to get to/from our tents
This missus getting her climb on, or practicing crunches, or something....
 mo' missus - gratuitous butt shot:
 mo' missus climbing through the buckets:
 yours truly enjoying the super fun warm up with gi-normous holds
 a little friend I almost stepped on at the base of the crag - fortunately he was in sleepy mode
 Twinkie - big holds, big fun...
from the ground it was hard to understand why this was rated 12a - the holds all looked super positive and HUGE
just plain fun climbing!
feet wherever you want
 just down the trail there was another super cool overhanging route that was beggin' to be climbed:
 same climb - steep and hard
 there were little glimpses of blue sky every once in a while....
 the missus leading some slabby looking horror-show (any slabby looking anything is a horror show to me)
