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

A fun boulder with amazing textured holds. Shade most of the day. Very secluded. Please do not climb when wet!

Getting There

Approach takes approximately 10 mins. Park at the Red Springs parking lot. Take the dirt trail to the right of the boardwalk. Take the trail for about 1oo ft then trend left towards the mountain. Walk uphill about 100 ft more. Look for a smooth patina boulder next to a bolted route. The problems are on the wall facing the cliff so you won't see any chalk during the approach.
