Thought it went R to L: Diablo, "Forgot" aka White Lightening, Toro de Rojo, "Forgot 2"

climb2core said on September 13th, 2013

Also darkhorse, 11b is over by the 10 at the far right...

dustonian said on September 13th, 2013

What about Evil? And the routes over by Nut Grabber or whatever it's called...?

ray said on September 14th, 2013

Coming soon.

Wolf said on September 17th, 2013

Which route used to be called "Burgled"? Was "Up for Grabs originally "Pipebomb"?

rjackson said on September 17th, 2013

Burgled and Pipe Bomb haven't been added yet... patience people, patience.

Wolf said on September 18th, 2013

Excellent.

Jeff said on September 18th, 2013

Between Gold Finch and Pipe Bomb is "Nut Gobbler" 35ft 5.8+ crack. Fun route. JN 2010

pigsteak said on September 18th, 2013

we also have gravitude and that mixed line to add to the left of sad parade.

pawilkes said on October 15th, 2013

We (Phil Wilkes, Curtis and Audrey Gale-Dyer) FAed the dihedral left of Jinga today. We named it "Less than Graceful" and gave it 5.9 with two stars. rap off big tree at the top.

Did the OW / squeeze chimney line in between Evil and Under the Influence this weekend with Kenneth. Seemed to be at least 9+, but maybe not quite as hard as God of the Gaps. Having at least 2 each of #4-6 will keep you off the ground, but I think a 7-8" piece would have made it more enjoyable. Didn't see evidence of previous traffic - anyone been up this guy? If not how about Wizard's Sleeve.

dustonian said on October 21st, 2013

Nice Meg! Good lookin line & nice name... Or, "Belayers with Small Bladders"... ;)

Saxman said on October 25th, 2013

Nice little 10 went in by Incognito. Too bad it's not online yet. Probably waiting for proper anchors.

Anonymous said on April 10th, 2015

any chance of this re-opening, any progress towards such? got here once 2 weeks before closure and it was already one of my favorite walls.

Anonymous said on October 18th, 2016

In addition to parking are there any other reasons for the closure of Area 6? Or is it simply a question of avoiding traffic on fragile roads and avoiding parking in the very limited space.

Anonymous said on October 19th, 2016

Its private land

Anonymous said on October 19th, 2016

Got escorted out at gunpoint over the summer. This area is patrolled by the land owners who are tired of climbers...

not true anon..the owners dont live local.....

Ryanwsu4 said on May 9th, 2018

is this area going to be reopened again? cuz id love to freaking go back

Anonymous said on May 9th, 2018

one of my favorite walls at the red... RRGCC seems more focused on buying new land

Anonymous said on May 9th, 2018

I have no critique of the RRGCC, as previous anon seems to have, but I will agree that this crag is amazing. It's an entire cliff full of K.S.B. and Amarillo-style lines. Maybe one day...

DTL said on May 7th, 2019

There was no "closure"� of Area 6. It was never open and never for sale.

Anonymous said on April 12th, 2020

Funny how this crag seems to be open when everything else is closed.

Anonymous said on April 13th, 2020

Lee Co. Judge Executive and Kentucky Governor both have ordered 14 day quarantine for anyone coming into Kentucky from out of state. If you work at Rockhouse, etc., and have out-of-state plates, carry a copy of your lease or mail to your local address in case you get pulled over.

Man, I am so happy I don't climb in the gorge anymore. There is better rock, longer routes, and zero people in the unknown areas of southeastern Kentucky. You can't close a climbing area if no one knows about it. Enjoy dealing with Disneyland and all of the bullshit that goes along with it.

Anonymous said on April 13th, 2020

Cool story bro. Glad you don’t climb here either although I’m sure you’ll be back. Eventually all the “secret” crags get leaked by one of your “friends” you took out there and the cascade takes effect. Nothing is new under the sun, especially douche bags such as in the climbing world.

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).
