    Comments: Hugh, you rock. Fantastic route. Great boulder problems seperated my easier climbing and good rests. A MUST DO.

    Comments: Onsight. One of the best and most entertaining face climbs I've ever done! And it keeps coming at you right until the end. Luckily there are enough good rests on the way. 6 stars on a 5 star scale!

    Comments: historical note on funkrock. Neal Strickland, Dave Lutes and myself were developing FR. Then Porter got wind of it and showed up. Not that we cared if Porter would show up, but we knew he was capable of bolting the entire wall in a weekend. Hence "There Goes the Neighborhood" by Neal. Then, Porter responded with his route, "The Infidel". I was with Porter one day app 40 ft left of There Goes the Neighborhood" and we were both gazing up and spied the line that is now OJ. I knew that if I wanted this route, I better skip work the next day and get down there and do it. So I did. The next weekend Porter was back and visibly distraught to see bolts ascending OJ. I let him TR it. He flashed it, of course. I have never regretted snaking that route.

    Comments: got on OJ today, it is without a doubt the most perfect line in the red!!!!! great hard boulder problems separated by good rests and moderate climbing on incredibly high quality and beautiful stone!!!!! bring some power endurance for the send!
    User: Kris Hampton   Date: Mar 24th, 2008
    Comments: Power endurance?? There are maybe 3 hard moves on the whole route... whats the power endurance for?

    Route details are copyright Ray Ellington, John Bronaugh, and other Red River Gorge climbers. Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. The information in this guidebook is subject to error and should supplement never replace common sense and caution, competent guidance and instruction, and actually being outside. One should be especially cautious on matters of route length, descent type, and number of bolts (especially since such things do change occasionally).
