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

Bullet black rock, nice moderate routes, & fantastic position make the Luxor wall a fine piece of rock and will leave you wishing for more. The only drawback is a hour and a half walk. The small wall faces east and is shaped much like a pyramid with view of the vegas strip and its namesake casino.

Getting There

The bad news is the approach will take from 1 to 2 hours. The good part is that there is little to no bushwacking and the routefinding is straightforward.

To access this small crag go up Juniper Canyon. Approach as if your are heading to black dagger following cairns NE/E and paralleling the Brownstone wall. Continue uphill on slabs past Armatron until you reach a broad white shoulder with a ridge jutting out east from the brownstone. This is the top of the west end of jackrabbit buttress (Geronimo, etc) Continue NE on 4th class ledges with some exposure for a short bit to access a large slopped ledge that is the base of the wall. The wall is triangular in shape and is entirely covered with black varnish.
