Jackpot!! Red Rocks, NV

Just 15 miles from the Las Vegas strip is Red Rocks National Park and it has all the color of Vegas! The red striped colors in the sandstone make Red Rocks a stand out and the diversity of climbing makes it a world class destination.

The climbing ranges from big wall traditional climbing to well protected, overhanging sport climbing. All of which is on beautiful sandstone. The area also boosts quite a selection of limestone sport climbing.

So far I climbed mainly single pitch sport climbs and the routes are fantastic. The rock features are endless and the walls go from slad to steep to roof, anything you want. I have done one short multi-pitch trad climb and found that the protection was solid and the climbing awesome.

With the weather continuing to improve, I would say the crux to Red Rocks is going to be getting around the 14 day camping limit. Someone send me a license plate so I can get another 14 days.
