Customer Reviews

do not buy this book
Do not confuse this fire kindle with Red Rocks: A Climber's Guide. I regret buying this book as it is wholly inaccurate and guaranteed to confuse.

Lots of errors
There are lots of mistakes in this book, including wrong names of crags on topo overviews, wrong grades on climbs, bad directions, and more routes in the topo in the book than in reality.

Lead astray
Nice photos but inaccurate descriptions. Approaches in Red Rocks are notoriously long, on more than one occasion a route was described as being in full sun or full shade only to discover the opposite was true once at the base. We were quite frustrated with the book's misinformation. Routes were also poorly described. It lead our party to wonder if the author forgot to proofread the manuscript.
