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

Named for the family members that stumbled across this feature on one of many romps through Red Rocks. This is a northeast-facing mini wall that could host a couple routes. It will not likely be a destination on its own, but could be a good spot to spend the end of the day or to warm up for some of the harder routes in the area. The climbing is steep and enjoyable.

Getting There

This wall is situated immediately adjacent/south of the Taurine Boulder and northeast and downhill from Coco Crag. It can be approached by taking the main trail straight west and uphill out of the Red Springs Parking Area. Scramble up the bouldery terrain and look for the short but steep wall/boulder down and right of Coco Crag.
