This climbing guide to Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, written by Jerry Handren and published in 2007, was recommended very strongly by a friend who'd spent quite a bit of time climbing at RRC. He was specific and adamant that this was the book to get, so we did, and we were not disappointed. First let me say that you cannot, for some reason, buy this guide on Amazon or REI or any mainstream outlet I've found. But you most definitely can get it from Desert Rock Sports, the climbing outfitter in Las Vegas, NV, although it isn't mentioned on their website.
The guide is exhaustive, well researched, and beautifully illustrated. There are no drawn maps, instead every route is plotted on pictures of the rocks. We had a fantastic time reading the articles in between the route descriptions, and the guide was a friggin' pleasure to use, compared to some others we've had to rely on in the past.
