Best Sportclimbing guidebook for Red Rocks, Nevada?

[weej]

Hello, I was in Red Rocks 10+ years ago with a guide, following trad routes and having a great time, but I would like to return someday (next winter?) with an eye toward climbing bolted sport only - any advice on the best guidebook to buy&read in advance would be appreciated, I found too many to choose from at this link:

is there a healthy assortment of 10 and 11 sport routes out there?

thanks!

For roped routes, sport or trad, at Red Rocks, the Jerry Handren guide (with the black cover) is by far the best book. I wouldn't bother with any of the others.

thanks jcm, that's exactly the kind of endorsement I was looking for!

Yeah, ditto what jcm said; you can't go wrong with the Handren guide.

And yes, there are a ton of awesome 10-11 sport routes there. It's probably one of the best spots around for moderate sport climbing. You're going to have a blast!

Excellent - going to order the book and start planning for a winter trip! thanks for the feedback!
