This is a comprehensive guide to the rock climbs found in Red Rock Canyon
National Conservation Area, twenty miles to the west of the famous Las Vegas
Strip in Southern Nevada.
Red Rocks offers the climber everything from sport routes to big aid walls and
long free routes. The reliable weather, beautiful surroundings and great
climbing make Red Rocks one of North America’s best and most popular
destinations during the fall, winter, and spring.
This book provides detailed information on over 2,300 rock climbs, using full
written descriptions, maps, topos and photodiagrams. This 2016 edition
includes over 400 previously unpublished routes. Notable recent developments
include the addition of a large number of entry-level and moderate sport
routes in the Calico Hills; it is probably true to say that Red Rocks now has
one of the biggest collections of such climbs in the country. At the other end
of the difficulty spectrum, the free ascents of old, big-wall aid climbs in
the canyons has resulted in the addition of a batch of fantastic long, free
routes.
