Henderson Crags

Nevada > Southern Nevada

Description

The Henderson Crags are a ragtag bunch of eclectic areas around Henderson that are mostly made of basalt. Almost all of the climbing is in the form of bouldering. Although, they’re small pockets of good rock that could be developed for short roped climbs and a handful already exist.

Getting There

Approaches vary, check the areas for details.
