Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when wet. Details

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 dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

HUMAN WASTE Human waste is one of the major issues plaguing Red Rocks. The Las Vegas Climbers Liaison Council and the AAC provides free "wag bags" in several locations (Black Velvet, First Pullout, Kraft Mtn/Bouldering, 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 kit (just like your rope and shoes and lunch) no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly (do not throw them in the toilets at the parking area).

Description

Sun from late morning until the sun dips behind the mountains at the end of the day. Short, crimpy routes on a nice overhanging panel of patina.

Getting There

The approaches from the first and second pullouts to the this crag are nearly equidistant, but due to the huge number of additional parking spots available at the first pullout, it is almost always better to park there if headed to this wall. The approach trails on the map can be useful.

From the First Pullout (Calico I):

Hike down and left from the parking lot along the main Calico Hills Trail heading northwest. Walk up the big hill and remain on the highest fork of the trail. Continue on the trail until the wall comes into view, branching off right down a slab when almost parallel with the rightmost end of the crag. Follow a short trail through the wash and up slabs leading to the left end of the crag. ~0.5 mi, 10-15 min

From the Second Pullout (Calico II):

Hike down and right from the parking lot along the main Calico Hills Trail heading southwest. Stay on the left fork that travels briefly through a between the rocks before heading over slabs. When the wall comes into view, branch left down a slab when almost parallel with the rightmost end of the crag. Follow a short trail through the wash and up slabs leading to the left end of the crag. ~0.5 mi, 10-15 min
