I will be going to a conference in Las Vegas in the first week of May and would love to climb at Red Rocks for a few days afterwards (10-12 May). I'll be on my own and given the short time frame and my lack of familarity with the area I was considering hiring a guide, but they seem fairly pricey at around $400-500 a day.
So, I would appreciate any advice on where to find a partner (I have seen PlanetMountain mentioned), where to stay, and how to get around (car hire seems advised, unless I can find a partner with a car). Also some idea of what to expect from the weather/temperature given that summer will be approaching, and the best areas and routes to minimise the sun.
I would be hoping to climb some mid-length trad classics up to about 5.7 or 5.8. Preferably not too sustained and slab/wall rather than punishing cracks and chimneys. But shorter routes would be fine too. I just want to make the most of a limited time.
