Red rocks climbing partners/info
|
|
So I’m looking for climbing partners privy to the area. Iv spent 5 days attempting to find a scrambling solo up mount Wilson’s face. Best I can tell from mountain project and cross referencing with Topo maps and google earth I’m trying to get to the summit just above the gentleman’s club. Does anyone know if there is a solo scramble route with some 5.1-5.6 moves on exposed rock that is possible to do? Iv soloed scrambled to the peak of two different spires but not sure what they are called.I’m from back east amd just moved to area for work and unfortunately all my gear is in the Midwest. Would love to find a climbing partner with multi pitch experience that has the gear to do and try to find a moderatly easy route up the face of Wilson weather on prior established routes or creating new ones. Have a set of bd nuts 4-13 some anchor cordage, slings,a few carabiners and 180 of rope I bought in case I find myself in a pinch. Just missing a partner as eager to summit as myself!! Hope to hear from you soon and Please contact me if interested. 9two5 seven52 two99zero |

Not sure if you are trying to hike or climb it? You can hike/scramble to mt Wilson from Oak Creek, First Creek, or from the backside off Lovell Canyon Rd. Oak creek is class 4 ish depending on route, first creek is class 2-3 and Lovell canyon probably class 3. No climbing gear is needed for any of those. I’m hiking either Wilson or rainbow wall this Wednesday not sure which yet |

I’m looking to summit mount Wilson from the SE side via the spires directly west of the red cliffs. |

Iv found two paths that go up a gullies. one on the southeast side of mt Wilson directly above the large red cliff wall(not the red cliff wall that turns right intersecting main wash)but the cliff north. The gully has two outter spires (north/south) and one smaller spire in the middle almost acting as a bridge between two outter, connected by as series of gullies. I believe the northern outter spires arete is tickled but not 100% tbh. Mt Wilson is a badass. Every gully Iv explored and scrambled and climbed leads to 5 other gullies or shards so it’s hard to tell. Second path with cairns I found was on a spire north of the above gully. Summited that spire thru another gully on the south side of the spire(5000’) with 0 foot traffic.on the west side of the spire is a big wall with wash or gully that heads down hill north. This gully had many large steep and complex problems on my decent and was glad I had a rope at that point. At the top of the gully where it met where I accessed there was a fixed rope.heading uphill with more complex climbing moves. Amd wasn’t willing to trusts rope I couldn’t see the anchor point to to ascend a wall I couldn’t climb. |

You are probably talking about the Wilson traverse which would first go to white pinnacle peak, dead horse point, south summits of mt Wilson then the main summit. There are youtube videos on it and likely some gpx trails on various sites like peakbagger, summit post, etc The individual peaks there are routes to on here https://www.hikinglasvegas.com/directory-of-hikes.html the fixed ropes are there for the hikes |
