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

Large, northwest facing wall with nearly all-day shade and exposure to wind. Best on warmer days. In the late spring, the wall will get a bit of sun in the later parts of the afternoon.

The seven routes that are located at this crag range from 5.8 to 5.11. All of the routes are enjoyable, and it makes for a fun day to climb as many as you can.

Getting There

Follow the Calico Tanks trail from the parking lot as it winds around north and then east through sandy terrain. Shortly after a particularly long stone staircase, the wall will be on your immediate left off a slabby section of the trail.

0.7 mi and 200ft of elevation gain, ~15 minutes.
