Hi everyone. I am planning on doing some sport climbing in a couple weeks in the Rattlesnake Canyon area, including Iceberg Boulder and in the Rattlesnake Wash Hillside area (Alien Head area, Leisure World, and Stealth Pillar area). I was wondering if anyone could suggest which guidebook would be best to purchase for maps/information of these climbs? Thanks!

Thanks a lot Locker!

Which "current" Vogel guidebook has Rattlesnake Canyon in it? He has several guidebooks. Do you know the title of the one that covers RC?

Edit: Maybe you are referring to his recent best-of guidebook, "Joshua Tree Climbs 1000 of the Best Climbs in Joshua Tree"? That book has Corral Wall and Rattlesnake Buttress only in it.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
