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

Long known as a trad climbing area, the region south of Windy Canyon saw bouldering development during the winter of 2019/2020. The boulders are fairly dispersed, but with high quality rock.

Getting There

Park along the same dirt road as you would for the Windy Canyon boulders, but use one of the pullouts farther to the South (before you reach the Windy Canyon parking area). Make your way across the desert aiming for the left side of the disappearing buttress canyon. There is no trail until you reach the canyon. Once you near the mouth of the canyon, you can turn right (north) to reach the Uncut Gems gully or turn left (south) to reach the boulders in the canyon proper.
