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

I am adding this area only because it is not described in the guidebook with any detail nor is it mentioned in the other areas on this MP description. There is enormous potential for new routes on this "small" feature of Bridge Mountain just waiting to be put up. I welcome all previously unpublished route additions and encourage people to go up and explore this area!

Routes on this wall would be in the shade all day - except early in the morning.

Getting There

Park in the Ice Box canyon parking lot. Hike up the main trail for .5 a mile, look for any trail that goes left and crosses the creek. Head up the north facing talus slope, aiming for the large white boulder below a black patina face. This is the start of the route "Hodor Said Hodor" and perhaps many more.

Approach takes 30 minutes if you are walking at a casual pace
