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

Probably as far east as you'll go in the first pullout, this is a tall wall of fantastic rock, largely hidden from the parking lot. Climbs range in style from a beautiful varnished chimney to a bouldery overhanging crimpfest and everything in between. Sort of like Civilization Crag's big brother.

Getting There

Approach to Civilization Crag. Continue up under the "slot" climbs, and follow cairns uphill and east through a break (see beta photos). Head straight east and you'll arrive at The Chasm, and once you're at that wall, continue down and around the formation until you arrive at a short steep slot. Up the slot, and you've arrived at the wall. ~20 minutes.

To trade a slightly longer and steeper approach for a shorter drive, approach from the Red Springs parking lot. Head past the Main Cluster boulders and then go right up the steep hillside. Once the hill levels out, continue contouring west towards the crag. See the map for details. ~30 minutes.
