Suggested Page Improvements to Kraft Boulders

The Kraft Boulders are located before the Red Rocks Visitors center. Great Boulders outside of a residential area. Hundreds of problems from V0 and up! The very first boulder is called the Cube and it is hard to miss considering its size. The cube is about 25 ft. with a many routes including Agent orange (V8). There is a rap anchor on the north side of the boulder if you get sketched out down climbing the V3.

IMPORTANT: Waste bags are provided by the Las Vegas Climbers Liaison Council in order to reduce human waste issues at the crags and boulders. Please feel free to take one, use as directed, and dispose of in any trash receptacle. Please do not leave them lying around, and do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas. The project was funded primarily by the American Alpine Club's Cornerstone Conservation Grant, with additional funding from the Access Fund and Mountain Gear. Please do your part to be a good steward of this amazing climbing area.

From Vegas, take highway 159 towards the Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center.

Take the right turn onto W Calico Basin Road (BEFORE the visitor center.) You'll wind through a small neighborhood. Stay on the main road. You’ll see a parking lot and sign for Red Spring. Turn right and go straight down that road, which is Sandstone Road.

The road dead ends and there is a parking lot on the left, Kraft Mountain Loop. Park. Take the Kraft Mountain Loop trail, which is just behind the park sign (and where you see a dog poop bag holder) that leads to the boulders. 

There are boulders in this area with archeological significance-- the Birthing boulder in particular. There are trailside posts marking the boulder and heritage site. Please be mindful of rock art and be aware that it is illegal to climb within 50' of petroglyphs. Note also that the BLM is considering possible closures in this area, and being mindful of access issues can help keep the boulder open for climbing.
