Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Black Orpheus Amphitheater : Black Orpheus (5.9+)
By: jpvandever When: 19 hours ago | view comment >> | Comments: climbed this on saturday of thanksgiving weekend. only one other party on it. left parking at 530 and arrived at base of route around 730. started climbing around 8 and topped out around 2pm. we simul-climbed the middle pitches. from the top we walked down the ramp to a rap station (required a leap to a boulder and scramble down a chimney/gulley). the first rap diagnols down towards the ledge visible from the first rap station. we did three raps with a 60m rope. got back to car around 630 ju... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : The Friar and Byrd Pinnacle : The Friar (5.9)
By: Luis Cisneros When: 1 day ago | view comment >> | Comments: I went left instead of right on the last pitch, basically following chalked holds... so I ended up doing an overhanging corner that felt like a 5.10c R with really bad gear... does anybody know anything about this variation?

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Eagle Wall : Mountain Beast (5.11-)
By: tallmark515 When: 1 day ago | view comment >> | Comments: First 4 pitches are the same as Ringtail.
To finish on Ringtail, head Right, and top out on the pillar. For Mountain Beast finish Left and head up a few more pitches on the main wall.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Solar Slab - Lower Tier : Solar Flare (5.10-)
By: John Wilder When: 2 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: tallmark- the letter stamped into the end of the bolt indicates the length. I believe that it is an 'E' bolt up there, which translates to a 3" bolt.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Solar Slab - Lower Tier : Solar Flare (5.10-)
By: tallmark515 When: 2 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: To avoid rope drag on P2, link the first two pitches, but use long runners. The first pitch is REALLY easy and you won't need much gear (I used one cam) the traverse feels like very easy 5th class.
The bolt is strange, but how do the above posters know that it is only a 3" bolt? For all we know it could be a 6" bolt. Either way I don't think it's really necessary.
The roof crux didn't feel hard, at Yosemite or Joshua Tree this roof would probably go at 5.9. The jugs are huge and the feet are ... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : The Friar and Byrd Pinnacle : Red Zinger (5.10+)
By: tallmark515 When: 2 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: Stems, liebacks and jams on P1 and a powerful but short .10d crux lieback on P2.
Great route and a lot of good rests, I just wish it was longer.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Black Orpheus Amphitheater : Black Orpheus (5.9+)
By: Sherri Lewis When: 4 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: Count me in with the folks upthread who felt that the last two pitches were, in some ways, harder than the crux. Maybe I was just tired by then, but the sustained lieback on P10 and the heady runouts on the thin, soft edges of P11's face had me going.
After the twin cracks just above the crux on P9, I wasn't sure whether to climb the featured corner on the right or to go straight up the smoother, black face to the left of ledge. The varnished face on the left looked more my style, so I gave... more >>

By: John Wilder When: Nov 16, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The first rappel is off the second tree, from there, head down and right (towards Black Orpheus), following a ramp system to an obvious stopping point. From there, head right along a lower ramp to a notch (where the water streak starts). Drop into the notch and look under the detached block for a rap station. Take this to another ledge, which leads to the BO descent. While its not SUPER obvious, a little scouting makes this descent very manageable. However, I wouldnt recommend doing it in the da... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Oak Creek Canyon : Eagle Wall : Rainbow Buttress (5.8)
By: John Wilder When: Nov 15, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: What a great route up the eagle wall, although I wouldnt recommend the Dihedral Variation for the budding 5.8, or even 5.9 leader- its quite difficult and sustained. The protection is adequate, although if you dont have RP's or the smallest C3s, you'll be risking a pretty good sized fall (25'+) if you blow the crux move- assuming they would hold. Luckily, the fall is clean.
The final '5.7' pitch is on some of the worst rock i've ever climbed in Red Rock and the state of the rock was so terrible... more >>
