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

These two silly boulders serve as nice warm ups if you're headed to the Whale Bacon/Tilt Shift areas. They sit 30 seconds from the trail, making them a nice quick hit. These problems were developed by; Cory Taylor, Erik Hunter, Bryce Taylor and Joshua Gale.

Getting There

Follow directions to the Beehive Knoll area using Tom Moulin's fantastic bouldering guide. The Silly Patch sits at the southwest edge of the Beehive Knoll/Wilson Pimple, left of the main trail and about 2 minutes prior to the wash that contains the Beehive Knoll boulders. 40 minute-ish approach time.
