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

An east-facing, lone boulder with a good landing between Oak Creek Canyon and Juniper Canyon. It has three known problems, The Left, on the left edge of the SE side; Rotator Cuff, a tall,committing line up the center of the SE face; and Shiatsu, the tall arete on the NE edge of the boulder.

Getting There

From the Oak Creek TH, hike the main trail to the intersection with the main trail that contours along the base of the mountain. Head right at this intersection and hike for about 3/4 of a mile. Keep an eye out for this obvious boulder uphill (left) of the trail. Pick your way up through the cholla to the boulder.
