The Regge limit of gravity is in some ways more complicated than the case of QCD because the Glauber mode become strongly coupled. On the other, it is simpler than QCD as this limit also leads to a clean semi-classical limit. As such, we know that, despite the strongly coupled nature of the problem, we should be able to maintain calculational control. After all, we know how to calculate plentary scattering in this limit. Despite this fact, there are various open puzzles regarding this limit, and in this talk I will show how the EFT of gravity in this limit can address these issues.
