Location: NV : Red Rock : Black Velvet Canyon : Black Velvet Wall : Epinephrine (5.9) By: Bryan Gohn When: Nov 23, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: We lucked out on this climb with an abnormally cool day in June. There wasn't another soul in the whole canyon. It was overcast most of the day, which had me a bit worried with only one rope (and just the previous weekend we had an epic bail in a Sierra snowstorm) but it didn't rain a drop. I think we poured out a whole liter of water on the summit, and still had some in our bottles when we got back to the car.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Black Velvet Canyon : Black Velvet Wall : Texas Hold 'Em (5.11c) By: Darren Snipes When: Nov 22, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: According to local lore, the pitch 6 "variation" (12b, AO) was the original route put up by Conz and Rosholt. Even after repeated attempts it would not go free for them. Apparently other local hardmen have tried to free this pitch, to no avail. Conz reportedly does not know who is responsible for the pitch 7 (5.11c) variation. This variation to the route, which is now the more commonly attempted way, is accessed by climbing a pitch of the Texas Tower connection, which is pitch 6 in the descrip... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Black Velvet Canyon : Whiskey Peak : Wholesome Fullback (5.10a) By: scalparm When: Nov 15, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This climb definitely feels harder than 10a! I did Amber(10c) which has the same start and goes left at the hand crack. Wholesome Fullback felt MUCH harder by comparison. Though I think I did it a harder way. The crux was right after the traverse. I descended with two 60m's and it took two rap stations of the three to get to the ground. Maybe to 70's would get you there in one go, though I doubt it.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Black Velvet Canyon : The Rad Cliff : Basilisk Fang (5.7) By: Eric Delynko When: Oct 31, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Be ready for loose stuff beyond the ledges. My wife pulled a chunk as large as her torso off this one. This along with the descent from the route makes you forget that the climbing is actually pretty good.
I used two cams as directionals for the second and stoppers exclusively for protection. Solid placements the entire way.
