I remembered the name of that wall, but I can't remember where we went the first day. I think it was in the first pull-out too. This wall starts with a 5.7 trad and then there are a couple of 10s and an 11b further down.

Once I find a decent guide (why can't they all be like the one Ray has here???), I'll look up the names. We went to the Running Man, Black Corridor (loved that place), the Gallery and that one I can't remember.

I saw only one at the drug store. Just one! I got ripped off in Vegas because I hoped to see more.

Dr. Topo is friggen awesome only when he is giving first hand info... that shit he conjured up for SoIll sport climbing is crazy. Incorrect bolt counts, route names, and grades... probably because he spent his time bouldering rather than sport climbing. Makes me wonder how you can write a sport climbing guide while your bouldering?

on a side note, I like his bouldering guide!

yeah I'd also stay away from his Joe's Valley, UT guide...we should have just talked to someone that's been there...

red rocks is one of the best spots in the country i would say. the only thing that sucks is the camping. which of course can be avoided by living in parking lots if you have no money or staying in cheap hotels if you have money.

alex kicks ass with his dr. topo project. so what if he gets some stuff wrong or the grades are not right. you get what you pay for.

oh, for those of you who remember colt45. well he started speed climbing and now holds some records in red rocks. if you ask him he would tell you that he wasn't trying to go fast and just got the records by default. but even if that is true it is pretty cool.

check out his records here:(under)
