October at the Red River Gorge

I finally made it down to the Red River Gorge at the end of October. Boy am I out of shape for the endurance steep climbing here. Still, it is fun. There were a few cold and wet days with even a bit of snow, but mostly the weather has been nice.

For a Halloween party I dressed up as a carrot, unfortunately I neglected to get a pic of myself in costume. Maybe I can get one from someone else.

Meanwhile I am working on getting my strength and endurance and skin up to where they need to be so I can climb some new climbs.  As usual there are lots of people here I know, so that is fun.

The last few days the weather has been absolutely gorgeous, unfortunately my back has decided to hurt, I can still climb, but getting my feet to the holds isn't always easy. The crux is getting my shoes on though.
