Book Description

Climbing Guides June 15, 2005
The most comprehensive climbing guidebook ever published for Red Rocks, Nevada.

*More than 1500 trad and sport routes *Includes over 300 routes more than any other guidebook for the area, many of those routes never before been published *Features 90 topos and more than 100 photos with route overlays *Routes rated from 1 to 5 stars for quality

Just a 30-minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area offers the best off-season weather of any climbing area in the United States. Its desert climate and its abundance of varied climbing routes-from beginner to advanced, trad routes and sport routes, single-pitch to big-wall-have made Red Rocks a prime year-round destination. In the past, no single guidebook offered climbers complete coverage of the area, but this new guide offers everything they'll need to know to get the most from their trip to Red Rock Canyon, including visitor information for the Las Vegas area.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best book, May 7, 2011
This review is from: Red Rock Canyon: A Climbing Guide (Climbing Guides) (Paperback)
Just got back from Red Rocks. For sport climbing this is not the best book. Its inaccurate and not easy to use. All the locals told us that this is the WORST of the many books out there.

1.0 out of 5 stars Often Wrong, February 12, 2009
This review is from: Red Rock Canyon: A Climbing Guide (Climbing Guides) (Paperback)
Very hard to tell if a climb is sport or trad or just happens to have a few bolts from the descriptions. Also, bolt counts are wrong- we got on what appeared to be a warm-up 5.8 but it had serious decking potential.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Get Red Rocks: A climber's guide instead. You will be happier.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Red Rock Canyon: A Climbing Guide (Climbing Guides) (Paperback)
Great more/less comprehensive guide to Red Rocks. Since, it covers a wide breadth, expect some Beckey-like descriptions for less popular routes. Also, I found that some ratings differ from consensus on Mtn. Proj.
