RRG Trip Help

Post by **SthCrag510** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:02 am

I've been planning a trip up to RRG for sometime now. Looks like its going to be the first or second week of august for a couple of days. I've never been to the Red before so i don't really know any of routes or anything. I was wondering if anyone would mind maybe showing me and a friend or two of mine around. We mostly climb sport around the 5.9 to 5.10 range. Im getting into trad and have been putting together a rack for some time now. I want to do my first trad lead at the Red and would like some help. If any of ya'll would be so kind to show us around that would great. Just let me know. Thanks

Is there a place close to The Red where one can buy the guidebook because im not sure it'll get here before we leave. Oh yea where's the best place to camp? I've heard the place behind the pizza place is good? What do ya'll think?

Do you need reservations to camp at Miguels? Im guessing they have water and everything....

No reservations needed, $2/person/night (whether you're in a car or in a tent), shower tokens are $1 apiece and they buy you about 5 minutes, there are sinks with running water out back.
