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

Tall, overhung, slightly chossy. What’s not to love?

Getting There

Hike to the Monkey Bar Boulder. From there continue along the trail and then turn right to cross the wash after 100 yards. Turn right and walk along the base of the cliff band, past a small outcrop sport crag with bolts and anchors. Turn left and hike up the right hill before turning left above. Continue for 100 yards and you will be at the back side of the boulder. (I’ve attached a photo of a map to the area that you can use as a reference for the path)
