Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste Details

WET ROCK: The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN RED ROCKS DURING OR AFTER RAIN. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery bone-dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

HUMAN WASTE: Human waste is a major issue plaguing the area. The Southern Nevada Climbers Coalition (SNCC) works to provide "wag bags" free of charge in several locations: Black Velvet Canyon, The Hamlet, Kraft Mountain Area, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor. These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out. Consider bringing one to be part of your daily kit no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly. Do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas.

See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.

Description

The gigantic boulder located near Red Springs that is visible from much of the road in Calico Basin.

Due to the short drive, short approach, and large range of grades, this is a very popular crag.

The routes to the left of Caustic face southeast and receive morning sun and afternoon shade. The routes to the right face northwest and are shaded all day.

Getting There

From the Red Springs parking lot, hike northwest along any of the branches of Calico Basin trail for a quarter of a mile directly to the base of the crag.

Alternatively, an even shorter approach is available by parking near the corner of Sandstone Dr and Assisi Canyon Dr and following a trail that heads directly to the crag.
