  • Tracy stands out in the shadowy darkness covering this 5.10.
  • Richard leads one of two 5.9s we climbed.
  • The climb we came to this area for is called "Fuzzy Undercling" and is a very nice 5.11b. A couple of powerful moves lead you into a long and beautiful route on nice easy holds. Here's Kelsey past the hard part, moving upwards.
  • A nearby climber works his way up a very difficult climb next to <i>Fuzzy Undercling</i>.
  • Richard followed us up <i>Fuzzy Undercling</i> as well, looking somewhat tired.
  • A hands-free rest gives Richard a respite from the pumpy climbing on <i>Fuzzy Undercling 5.11</i>.
  • Richards grins upwards from the namesake hold on <i>Fuzzy Undercling 5.11</i>, where you can wedge a leg in and take both hands completely off the rock, should you feel like it.
  • On a day off from climbing, a bit of sunlight shoots through the foliage and lights up a few dying leaves alongside the trail to Natural Bridge.
  • Kelsey hops merrily across a footbridge on the trail to Natural Arch.
  • An old light socket sits empty atop a pole over the trail to Natural Arch.
  • Fall colors shine brilliant under a blue sky.
  • Steps carved into the rock lead hikers through a narrow slot and up to the top of Natural Bridge.
  • Trees are turning yellow and red across the whole Red River Gorge.
  • Pinecones stand out against the bold colors of autumn in Kentucky.
  • Jess is happy as a clam, up in a tree.
