Location: NV : Red Rock : Sandstone Quarry : Front Corridor : Siktion (5.9)
By: Ron Graham When: Nov 15, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This route can easily be top-roped with a 60M rope. It's on slippery, slabby white sandstone with long spaces between bolts.

Location: NV : Red Rock : White Rock Spring : Angel Food Wall : Lean Lady (5.6)
By: Ron Graham When: Nov 8, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This climb can easily be done in 3 pitches with a 70 meter rope. Rather than end the second pitch in the alcove where the Lean Lady squeeze is located, climb the crack outside of the alcove (a few tricky moves, but the holds are there) to the big ledge above it. A 70 meter rope will then get you to the easy scrambling area at the top of the pitch.
If you're over 180 lbs, forget trying to do the squeeze. My partner is a fit 190 lbs, and I'm a fit 215, and neither of us could make it through t... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Calico Basin : Moderate Mecca : Soupy Sales (5.6)
By: Ron Graham When: Mar 1, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: This is an awesome route on which to give someone a first-time leading experience because the climbing is easy and short and you can sew up the route with nuts, cams, and tri-cams. Also, the solid ledge and cracks at the top make it easy, safe and comfortable for a new leader to practice anchor building.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Calico Basin : Moderate Mecca : Abbey Road (5.4)
By: Ron Graham When: Mar 1, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Great place for a new leader because of its low angle, large footholds, and frequency of placement options for small nuts and cams. It's pretty out of the way for most people climbing in the Moderate Mecca area, so it's pretty easy to get on it.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Willow Spring : Sumo Greatness Slab : Sumo Greatness (5.9+ R)
By: Ron Graham When: Mar 1, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Slabba dabba must-do! Only by top-rope, though, unless you want to add some protection points between the current bolt placements by hanging biners on long draws from the existing bolts that create interim protection points. Even if you're awesome at slab climbing, you'll find that the slab here is covered in a coating of dusty sand that makes it very, very slippery. Without extra protection, a slip resulting in an injury is pretty likely. I thought the coating of sand on this route made it ... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Willow Spring : Children's Crag : 22 Minutes 'til Closing (5.6 PG13)
By: Ron Graham When: Mar 1, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The beta photo suggests the route goes up the face left of the crack at which Tarzan's Arm starts. Although that face offers relatively easy climbing, it's mostly unprotectable on poor rock. Make sure you start up the big crack.
Like other routes in the area, there are some possible variations to the ending. Instead of pulling ourselves up through the shallow chimney, my partner and I traversed left on some potato chip flakes to get around the bulge forming the left side of the chimney (5.7)... more >>

Location: NV : Red Rock : Willow Spring : Children's Crag : Peaches (5.5)
By: Ron Graham When: Mar 1, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: There is one section in the walk-off that appears to be quite exposed if you want to walk your way around it, but if you get down and crawl under the bulge that makes it appear so exposed, it's quite safe and easy to get passed without a belay. As of February '09, there is a rap station at the top of Peaches that requires two 60M ropes to rappel. There is also a set of hangers with chains above the anchor to Sumo Greatness that you can rap directly from or use for belaying yourself down to the... more >>
