Jerry Handren's book. No competition.

definitely Handren...the Uriostes are out of print and the Brock one is less accurate than Handren, i've heard....

It's actually the best guidebook I've ever used, by a long shot.

I've got 4 or 5 RR guide books, and used to bring all of them. There is no need for that just get the Jerry Handren book. Post up what you are looking for grade and type of climbing wise and you'll get tons of good recomendations as well.

Cheers,

Another alternative is Red Rock Odyssey by Larry DeAngelo. Very unique book; half history half guidebook. It highlights twelve of the most classic climbs at Red Rocks, offering expansive backgrond for each route. It's a very good read and worthy addition to any climbing library.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
