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 is a small cliff that sits at about a 5 minute walk from the Twinkie and The Salt Factory. It houses 1 bolted route and a handful of boulder problems.

Getting There

Walk to the Twinkie via the Turtlehead Peak Trail. Continue west up the wash, past the Twinkie for 100 yards. Leave the wash at a trail sign, and follow the rising trail to the northwest (right), continuing as for Turtlehead Peak. Stay on the main trail for another few minutes until it splits between the last remaining sandstone outcroppings, leading you into limestone territory. As you pass the last righthand sandstone outcropping, make a hard right and follow a faint trail eastward (towards the Secret 13 Wall) for about 30 seconds. The boulders are on your right.
