The Best Outdoor Recreation in the Country

"I live in Vegas because I think it's the best outdoor recreation in the country. Full stop," he says. "You're never more than a 15-minute drive from total open desert where you can just go and have full-on wild adventures." In 1974, George took a job at UNLV,. He got his green card, the couple married and moved to Las Vegas for Red Rock. The consensus of the few California climbers who had visited was that the rock sucked. Even though they're only 20 miles apart, they're completely different worlds.
