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

Dense cliff with a nice range of nearly 30 climbs from 5.8 to 5.12 that has made this wall a popular choice, especially on warmer days. The wall is short and routes tend to be punchy and bouldery. People come both as a destination crag and as a place to warm-up on the way to other walls. There is a nice staging slab at the base that is great for hanging out, though the belays tend to be in a pit at the base of the wall.

The wall faces northeast and gets shade most of the day in the winter and from late morning on in the spring. Any wind will usually catch this wall as well.

Getting There

Take the Calico Tanks trail leaving the parking lot from the north and then continue to the fork, taking a left to switch onto the Turtlehead Peak Trail (signed). After a short and steep uphill section of the trail, leave the trail going straight/left onto slabs and then to the base of the wall.

0.4 miles and 200 feet of elevation gain, 10 minutes.
