Borrow/Rent Crashpads 10/7 - 10/9

I'm going to be out in Red Rocks 10/7 - 10/9.  I'm flying in so I can't bring my crashpads.  Hoping someone in the community has some crashpads that I could rent or borrow for those dates.  

If you are interested, or know a local gear shop that rents out pads, please DM me.  

We rent them by the day. $15 regular, $25 XL.

Red Rocks is totally doable, just stick to the shade.

Not much on MP, probably tons but long approaches.

Sorry, I screwed up and didn't add the location:  I'm going to be in Red Rocks 10/7 - 10/9.  Looking for a buy or a shop that rents out crash pads. 

Will check out Desert Rock Sports.

bummer! any fellow pebble wrestler is welcome to borrow mine, but i live in sacramento so i cant help you. also, sorry for my snark!

the guys at DRS are super nice and easy to work with and even in the height of their season have plenty of pads and on the way to red rocks, so super convenient.

hope u have a good trip. the canyons are probably a better choice for october. and it looks like once the reservation system starts (?) canyons off the loop will be more convenient...

Thanks for the tips.  I had planned on going to the Kraft boulders because it seemed like the highest concentration of moderates.  None of us climb harder than v6, and two of us only climb ~v1, so Kraft seemed like a good choice.  

Do you think that we'll bake at Kraft? I also don't have a great handle on what is in the canyons vs what is off the loop, so any references to specific areas would be helpful if you've got them.

definitely not a local, been there a few times. just checking the forecast and it looks like itll be in the nineties. kraft and calico face south so the only shade is on the north side of boulders until late afternoon so its doable. another thing is the best "condies" arent THAT important as far as im concerned.  you might not be able to push your limits, but i guess that is a matter of managing expectations:)

in the canyons it'll be a lot cooler (at least 10 degrees F) and the shade comes sooner in the day...

do you have the tom moulin southern Nevada boulderibg II book? 

Thanks for the beta there.  

I don't have the Southern Nevada Bouldering book.  I'll need to pick up a copy or take some pictures of it.

it is truly a great guidebook and very well done and easy to follow with great photos. 

im happy to lend you mine. i wont be able to get it in bv the mail until wednesday, tho, so not sure itll make it...

Thanks for the offer.  I'll find a way to make do.  Appreciate all the help. 

Just remember that when you look at weather, don't look at weather for Las Vegas, that gives you down town. RR is higher elevation, so its usually about 10F cooler, and cooler than that in the shade of the canyons or high up on walls.

This spot estimation forecast is a little more accurate and what we usually go by at the shop:

Edit: and we have Southern Nevada Bouldering II in stock again, $41.17 after tax.

If you wanted to check out Charleston and boulder in that range head up to the Lee Canyon Boulder(s).  All three boulders are a quick hike from the road but still in a surprisingly pretty area for its proximity, although you might encounter some people dispersed camping nearby.  After that drive up the Deer Creek Rd towards Kyle Canyon and stop at the Roadkill Traverse for more climbing or head down to the Subway and hang out there a bit (or both).  Climbing is mostly hard/steep at the Subway but the area and formation is really neat and it gets shade, should be fun even to chill a while and relax at a higher elevation for the afternoon.
