Rumney is just is what it is, I don't think you can say it's over rated. I feel like people who don't sport climb don't talk about or hardly know of it. If you sport climb, it's rad, almost as rad as the red i'd say.

Sure I can. Watch: "It's over rated". See? No problem.

As good as the Red? I can only assume that you've either never been to the Red, or are trolling. Have you actually sport climbed anywhere other than Rumney? Look, I LIKE Rumney. It's a pleasant little collection of crags with a small handful of truly excellent walls. But from a national perspective, it's not even in the top 20 or 30 sport crags in either quality or quantity.

I'm not trying to bag on it...I agree that it is what it is: A good little regional area. It's simply been hyped out of all proportion.

I agree with cfnubbler. Having climbed in both places and having actually enjoyed Rumney, I dont think it compares to the Red as a destination. The combination of quality and quantity at the red is just too amazing. Rumney definitely has an interesting type of rock that I think produces some cool climbs. But still.
the only problem with Red is that miquels is getting too crowded :))
