Nothing but good, clean fun here, folks: Lucia Li shares an airy whipper from The Madness (5.13c) at the Red River Gorge. “It is common to skip the last two draws due to the sustained and steep nature of the route,” Li told Climbing. “After 100 feet of climbing, you enter the crux—which is ultimately a run for the anchors.”

Happy Friday, and be safe out there this weekend.
