Videos, photos, and write-up for each the climbs and experiences in the Red Springs Area:
  • Day 1: Red Springs Area  ( Walls: Cut Your Teeth; Hide & Seek; Happy Acres ) - Rick and Stef climb a no-star/ half-star dirty chimney - and loved it! 5 climbs; 6 pitches - What the FUN! What the FUN-K!
  • Day 2: Red Springs Area (Walls: Cowlick; Cannibal) - A sporty, top-ropey kinda day - with a bad TR anchor and climb. 6 climbs; 5 pitches (yes, you read that right because there is a What the FAIL!) There are also What the FUN! and What the FIESTY!
  • Day 3: Red Springs Area (Wall: Dickies) - Climbing? Frustrating? No, never....well, sometimes. 1 climb; 1 pitch; What the FRUSTRATING!
  • Day 5: Moderate Mecca (Red Springs - Moderate Mecca Crag) - Let the battle of the bulge and haikus begin. 4 climbs; 4 pitches; 3 What the FUN; 1 What the FEISTY
  • Day 8: The Fringe Crag (Red Springs Area) - We did a 5.7 sandwich this evening to make a one-off climb much more entertaining (one 5.7 climb sandwiched by a 5.10a two-pitch-er which added a nice 120 feet to the 65-foot 5.7 climb). What the FIESTY (This rating excludes the additional climbing - it's only for Broad Border 5.7.) Stef also reflects on some past transgressions.
  • Day 9: Reptile Rock and Near The Fox - We have WTF'r #3! And, the quote of the day is "The tree is on!" on a "What the Foliage" climb where a little tiny tree truly is the crux.
  • Day 45: Gnat Man - Stef is joined by Tony Ferrar to knock off two 5.7s at off the list. Both of the climbs are nice, one is rated a What the FEISTY! the other is What the FUA! What is FUA, you ask? Well, you just have to see the El Fua video to understand.
  • ​Day 55: Coco Crag: Ruta de Roja is a 200 foot trad climb we rated as What the Fiesty-Fun, because it's a fun climb with one committing spicy section. Check out the details!
