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

This is a boulder on the approach to the South Face of Windy Peak that happens to have a few good looking lines on it. This may not be worth the ~1500 vertical feet of approach on its own, but If you get blown off Windy Peak and want to climb something fun, its well worth it!

The south side has a moderate trad route up an obvious crack.On the northwest corner is a large steep overhang that may be possible to boulder but looks very hard and is definitely a highball. To the right of that is a protectable 5.6ish corner to the top of the formation.

Getting There

This boulder is on the approach to the south face of Windy Peak. As you gain the terrace look toward Windy Peak and it should be within view. The GPS coordinates should get you to the south side of the boulder.
