May 18, 2021. A huge rockfall let loose from high on Sunspot Ridge (page 162, route#1). It seems likely that all the routes on pages 162/3 will have been affected.

There are several routes in this sector on the far right side of The Monument. About 100 yards uphill and left of the triangular buttress containing Mustang Cracks, Huckleberries etc. is a huge right-facing chimney/corner; the line of The Dragon. Approach: To reach these routes scramble up and left ...

A few adjustments: Rack: Single to 3", doubles to 1.75", Rps. Pitch 3: upgrade from 10b to 10c. Pitch 4: upgrade from 10c to 11a. Climb the right-facing corner, making insecure and somewhat spicy crux moves to a big jug. After standing on the jug, move right around the corner then continue right to ...

As of November 3, 2020 The BLM has instituted a new timed-reservation system for entry into the Red Rocks scenic drive. At the moment, It's a little unclear how the details of this system are going to play out, but as things become more settled I'll post more information. https://www.blm.gov/sites/b...

Starting January 1, 2020, late exit climbing and high-country backpacking permit requests at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area will move to Recreation.gov.

For guidebooks bought before Jan 2021 (the issue has been corrected in the most recent print run), some text from this intro inadvertently got shunted to the previous page. The first lines on the page should read as follows; "This is a large, northeast facing cliff on the south side of the main drai...
