Description Suggest change

Ice? Near Las Vegas? Couldn't be...

Suprisingly enough a small number of ice climbs come in on Mount Charleston with some regularity. Most of these climbs are easily accessible from the road and require little commitment.

One word of caution, some ice formations don't bond well on the limestone. Be sure to evaluate your climb closely before committing to it.

Getting There Suggest change

To Get to Mount Charleston from Las Vegas, Take I-95 North to 157. Take a left turn crossing the Southbound Lane and follow Hwy 157 for 20.6 Miles.

From there, continue to the access point for your destination.

The third access point is Group Picnic Area #1. To approach climbs from this area, park as for Cathedral Rock. Continue walking beyond the small lot to a right hand turn a few hundred yards away. Walk up this road to the Group Picnic Area and the start of the South Loop Trail.
