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

This nice wall faces primarily southwest, but has some different aspects to it. Though there is generally lots of sun from late morning on, certain routes get more sun/shade than others.

The rock is mostly good and varies from thin to juggy, from slabby to steep, and has good routes across disciplines and styles starting at about 5.11. Though most of these are sport, there area a few trad lines available as well.

Getting There

Approach as for Running Man Wall, continuing southeast (right) along the slabs at the base of the wall. ~20 minutes if done correctly.

The wall can also be approached with more difficulty from The Gallery and Wall of Confusion by scrambling northwest. Not too far distance-wise, but a little tricky to find the right way and can involve a few fifth class moves depending on the route taken.
