Been itching to send one of those classic 5.11 or 5.12s at the Red River Gorge’s Torrent Falls Crag? Bummed that is has been closed to the public for the better part of 1+ year? Well, those days are over. Sort of. Torrent Falls has been re-opened to public climbing, however the re-opening comes with new rules in place to help limit problems that led to its closure in the first place. Climbing will only be allowed on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, and you must register day-of. Visit the new Torrent Falls website for more information.

That’s really great to hear. There was a classic 9 and many awesome 10’s in the area as well. With a beautiful waterfall, and scenic amphitheaters. Good to hear it’s back.

This is amazing news!!! Those are some of the best 11’s and 12’s I’ve done anywhere in the world. Perfect rock. Can’t wait to get back there…
