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
There are 8 routes, all bolted, with chain anchors.
There is a set of chains on the top of the formation that allows you to rap in and set top ropes on routes 1 - 5. Continue up the gully on the left until the top of the wall is reached.
Getting There
To get there: 2nd pullout, hike in and past Sweet Pain area and continue up the gully on the left of Hunter S. Thompson Dome. Look for the large pine tree on the right just past HSTD. All routes are on the sw facing wall.
Alternate route description: From 2nd PullOut take the main hiking trail down, at first signed intersection head left towards Sandstone Quarry, you'll gradually climb until a wide, flat area just beyond "Meister's Edge" is reached. Continue on the main trail a short distance and then turn right to drop steeply down on a climber's path. Cross a flat area and go straight-ish into a wash which will gradually swing around to the right. After 5-10 min (and after a few "steps" up) the area flattens out and becomes sandy. Turn left, headed for a steep gully (continuing straight leads to the Black Corridor) and follow the easiest path up this somewhat steep gully passing the Sweet Pain Wall on the left and, further up, Hunter Thompson on the right. Above this, trend right and up towards the MeetUp wall. The first time you do this hike, figure 45 min to an hour+ from the car.

[Hide Comment] Agreed! Excellent addition to the area. Destined to be right up there with Panty Wall, The Hamlet, Civilization Crag and the Magic Bus as a popular hang for those looking for easy sport routes. Fun little crag!!!
As far as the ratings, they seem consitent with the area (including the Hamlet). Left to Right: 7, 7, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10A, 9.

[Hide Comment] All good routes. The approach is somewhat of a bear. This may help keep the traffic down on this wall. Most of these routes may get a little harder as hold break off.

[Hide Comment] Dan is bringin' back sexy. Nice work, sir. Proof positive that a "moderate crag" doesn't have to be some gumby nightmare like some other new cliffs around here. Worth the walk. Still crunchy but fun.

[Hide Comment] Great climbing area with several easier climbs and a good belay landing. A variety of sun and shade. The approach up the ravine can be a bit strenuous.

[Hide Comment] If it hasn't been said before... a great addition to the Second Pullout! Wonderful climbing albeit a bit chossy at times. Should clean up very nicely.

[Hide Comment] I was out at this climb twice last month. A very nice area with laid in routes. Good to warm up after a few months of down time. If it's your first time up there go past Sweet Pain and keep climbing up and up the wash another 7-10 minutes. You'll see a pine tree eventually on the right. There is your wall.

[Hide Comment] This is a nice area that gets sun by 9 am in the winter. Good for warming up and getting used to red rock style climbing. All the routes are very generic without any particular memorable moves that will stick with you and differentiate the routes in your mind, but still a good area to get outside and get used to the rock. Approach is a cruise right up the gully past Sweet pain wall - maybe 15 minutes.

[Hide Comment] ATTENTION: If you find/found a engagement ring, with fancy etchings in it, this past weekend, please let me know at 501-827-2946 or selander@harding.edu! :( It would likely be near the base of a route. Or in the 2nd pullout parking..

[Hide Comment] The bolt spacing on this wall is father apart than at The Hamlet or The Panty Wall. Also everything sounds hollow. Fun enough climbing, but it was a spicier day than at the other two moderate walls!

[Hide Comment] Pack those approach shoes because it's basically a 30 min steep scramble up to the wall. You are rewarded with a lovely oasis of a crag with a nice tree shaded area. DO NOT MISS THE TWO HUECO CLIMBS on the south wall in the shade (totally different style of climbing). Mostly pretty decent slab climbs here that are kinda run out for new leaders (on average 10ft per bolt), but there are lots of great holds on the climbs so everything is secure.

[Hide Comment] This is an excellent wall for the new sport climber. After 2 years of top roping, my wife and I took 2 days of sport training here are Red Rock, then climbed 6 additional days on our own practicing the skill we learned, mostly on 5.4 to 5.6 routes. The description of Meetup Wall pulled us in for our last day and it was worth the mad scramble (V3 bouldering) to get there. We each led on Let’s Meetup, Safety First, and No Teaching! A stick clip is definitively recommend but we managed without by spotting/assisting to the first bolt. The climbs are fun and there are plenty of good holds to be found, sometimes you need to search a little. With 5 to 6 bolts to chain anchors we found this to be a great length to allow us to practice at a 5.7 level and recommend this wall to the new sport climber after you’ve had a couple days on some easier routes for practice and are comfortable with the process. Again, be prepared for the scramble up to the wall, then back out again….and take a stick clip if you can. Enjoy!!
