The Freedom to Climb is Not Free...

What does the RRGCC do?

Protect Climbing Access

We work to maintain a positive relationship with U.S. National Forest Service, Red River Gorge community leaders, and individual landowners to ensure public access to climbing for ALL.

Land Conservation

As responsible climbers it’s our job to protect and conserve the land that gives us so much. We are stewards striving to build sustainable infrastructure and advocates of LNT ethics to minimize impact on this precious land.

Build Community

From bringing new climbers together for education on climbing stewardship, to rallying folks for a trail day, to taking some time to celebrate at Rocktoberfest, we want to secure climbing for generations to come. From the beginning, we've brought the climbing community together.

Red River Reunion / RIAD

RRGCC and Miguel's Pizza are bringing El Cap back to the Gorge! Red in a Day (RIAD) is an endurance climbing competition modeled after the famous Nose in a Day ascent of El Capitan. Pair up with your best climbing partner and get ready to take on 31 pitches of the Red's finest Corbin sandstone! Kickoff and check-in will be hosted at Redpoint Barbecue Friday evening, and Miguel’s Pizza will close things down on Saturday with awards, raffles, & other festivities from our sponsors! All proceeds benefit the RRGCC.

"IF WE OWN IT, THEY CAN'T CLOSE IT." The RRGCC owns and maintains over 1,100 acres in the Red River Gorge. We work tirelessly to ensure climbing through the region is open and accessible to climbers.
