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 somewhat isolated, east-facing crag has two routes and no fixed gear. A standard rack should suffice for both routes.

Getting There

To find these two semi-remote climbs, use the trail on the west side of Kraft Mountain which passes the Yin and Yang cliff (once you attain the crest of this trail, look due North and you will see a formation that has two large huecos capped by an an overhang at the top of a gully - this is the gully that you want to be in). The trail forks obviously approximately 200 yards past Yin and Yang - choose the left option and then pursue it down and right to the wash. Cross the wash directly and there, to your left, will be the inconspicuous beginning of a gully that leads up and left. Follow the cairns in the gully, passing most major obstacles on the right side.
