Roadside attraction is a beautiful trad climb in Red River Gorge, Kentucky rated 5.7. The line follows a hand crack, ripe with solid gear placements, for 120 feet.

Stay safe out there, and for those learning how to trad climb, we recommend taking it slow and easy, taking a class, or learning from a trad climbing veteran.
