You might consider the New River Gorge. Fayetteville, WV is a cool little town and you can walk or bike to most of the climbing in the Gorge. You would fly into Charlestown, WV, then take a bus, I suppose, to Fayetteville. Or for the Euro experience, you could take the Amtrack train from Charleston to Thurmond, WV, then a taxi to Fayetteville. The American Alpine Club campground is a few minutes walk from three of the climbing areas (Bridge, Junkyard and Bubba City), or you could rent a place in town.
In total there are close to 3000 routes now if you include the New, Meadow and Gauley rivers.
There is a climbing shop and several good places to eat, including a Thai restaurant near the campground. And there's a brewery (OK it's not Czech beer). You can even walk to the theater in Fayetteville. Kind of like a redneck version of Europe.
It can rain, but October is one of the driest months. There are some rainy day routes, but not nearly as many as at the Red. How about October at the New and November at the Red?
