great climb, that was the first one I did when I visited the Red years ago. Lots of people always talked about the sport routes there, but I thought the cracks were awesome!

I only downrate problems once a year to lessen the impact on the ego of others…

JE down rates Kingpin, P-rob downrates Freaks of the Industry and now the climbingnarc drops the hammer down on Roadside Attraction.

Thanks for the beta! I’ll be adding it to my tick list for our upcoming trip.

5.7 and it would seem as though some would argue that it is even easier than that. I have basically 0 crack climbing skills and it didn’t seem too bad.

Either way it is a super fun route that most people do in 2 pitches which adds even more fun to the experience. The last picture is me standing at the first belay. You can do the route in 1 100′ pitch but I think that most people do 2 shorter pitches. Not that I have much experience in this but I would definitely recommend this route if you are going to be at the Red.

Wow, that is a sweet looking line. I’m planning a trip to the Red later this Fall. What’s the grade of this?
