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 upper right side of Oak Creek Canyon contains a number of remote, high quality routes. Although this is a continuation of the Eagle Wall area to its right, the approach and character of this area are different. The angle is not as steep, yielding much more moderate climbing. The descents are easy and the rock sunny. Large pine trees and running water give this area an alpine feel. The Celebration wall is the varnished slab on the left and the Ski Tracks, diagonal cracks cutting through unvarnished rock, marks the right edge of this area.

Getting There

Approach by following the drainage up past Solar Slab, Black Orpheus, and finally the cairns marking the approach to Levitation 29. Stay generally in the drainage, toiling over the boulders and through the brambles. You can save a little time by escaping to the south (left) side of the gully for a while a bit past the turnoff to Levitation but no matter how you do this it's a long haul. The approach is 2 hours or longer, depending on conditions.
