Bedtime for Bonzo (5.6) - Fortress Wall - Trad Climbing in Red River Gorge, KY

This video includes both pitches of the climb from start to finish. At 5:50 the first pitch ends and the second begins. To get to the second pitch from the first pitch, go in the direction shown in 5:46 which leads you into the hallway shown at 5:54. This climb is good but I think its a bit overrated. The first pitch is basically one move to a 45 degree angle walk for a majority of the climb to a mantle. The second pitch is an awesome crack with great exposure but it's only about 10 feet long so the fun is short lived. Don't ask why I fumbled all of my gear everywhere in the first bit of pitch 1, I'm not quite sure what was going on there either. Climbed on 12/23/2019.

Whoa! Small world! I was with the couple at the top the day you climbed this! I remember seeing you and your dad get on it. Matter of fact, that was me at the bottom while you were on the first pitch lol

P2 was fun, just over before it really gets going

Been meaning to get the second part of this climb done. Thanks for sharing 🤙

Sweet climb. Thank you for sharing.

There’s another crack to the left of the start of p2 that takes u to a different ledge, if u traverse that you’ll be on a “kentucky alpine” trail to the top, probably a chossy situation tho

[@Alvinyokatori]

The other crack is low exposure and might be an interesting scramble for a talented climber idk I Probly wouldn’t

I wouldn't trust a belayer who doesn't know how to remove a cam

This is so annoying to watch. You place way too much gear, just climb. There are so many standing no hands rests to place gear lol.
