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
The Trophy wall sits in the northern section of the Sandstone Quarry area. Steep routes on white rock make this stage-like area a steep sport climber's dream. Generally pumpy routes with good holds. This area is generally sunny, but the gulley acts as a wind tunnel making this one of the breeziest areas. Additionally, much of the wall is shaded in the afternoon due to the angles, despite the belay/hang area remaining sunny all day.
Getting There
Approach on the Turtlehead Peak trail as for The Twinkie. Leave the trail to head up a slab on the left side of that crag, continuing on a climber's trail into the bushy gully. Avoid getting off the trail as this is a rare, lush area for the park with sensitive plant species. The trail winds through the brush past Avian Wall before a brief scramble up a slab to the base of the climbs.
0.7 mi with 350 ft of elevation gain, ~20 minutes.
It is also possible to approach from the right side of the crag from the left end of The Secret 13 Wall. The crags are only a few minutes apart, but usually have different conditions.
