Our
Red Rocks Climbing guidebook provides SuperTopos for the
best Red Rocks climbs — most in the 5.4 to 5.11 range. While
the guidebook focuses on the most classic multi-pitch routes such
as Crimson Chrysalis and Epinephrine, cragging routes are also included.
Most of the climbs are on the highest quality sandstone Red Rocks
has to offer and are well protected with bolts or natural gear.
This guide is perfect for climbers making their first trip to Red
Rocks or returning climbers who want to tick off all the classics.
