Buff the Wood - The Motherlode :: Red River Gorge Online Guide

This route begins just right of Stain and is marked by a short fingercrack about 15 feet up. Boulder up to the fingercrack and make the clip. Take a rest, then move right on crimps and make a deadpoint reach to a small ledge. Launch for a jug then continue up the face to a pocket problem. Make some big moves then clip the chains.

You have a mundane humorless comment for everything!

climb2core said on April 19th, 2011

I am sorry Dustin.... not, not, NOTT! C'mon buddy the comment was pretty gay, especially describing buff the wood, lol

dustonian said on April 19th, 2011

That's why the original comment was funny, dumb ass.

climb2core said on April 19th, 2011

Sorry Dustin, you are one funny guy, my bad. Now enough wasting space on this.

easier than burliers :(

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).
