Hey everyone, I had a question. I'm looking at doing the multi pitch trad route called Olive Oil and I had somone recently tell me to enter thr RedRocks park you need a permit to climb to apply for a lottery? Is this true? Will I need to apply for a lottery to climb Olive Oil or need a permit? Is anyone aware of such a thing? Please let me know ASAP if you have any information on this subject. I'm looking at going this weekend. Thank you.

Not sure what you looking at but there are timed entries that require reservation nothing needed for climbing but an early start.

Hey Sean, no permit or lottery in RR. If you enter the scenic loop between 6 and 8 AM, all you need is a national parks pass or a credit card to buy an entry ticket. To enter after 8, you additionally need a reservation from recreation.gov
