Description

No better way to discover the beauty of Red Rocks Canyon, Nevada than by climbing it! Less than an hour from Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon is a sandstone playground, and a climbers dream. Towering sandstone walls, vibrant desert colors, and sun-soaked canyons create the perfect backdrop for a full day of adventure. Choose from a variety of different routes in the canyon, ranging from both single pitch and multipitch routes. Red Rock boasts an unusually large number of very long, high quality routes of moderate technical difficulty. Many fine climbs of grade III or IV in length lie in the 5.6 to 5.8 range. Some of the harder routes with a difficulty of 5.9 or 5.10 can only be described as desert classics. Come climb with us and see why Red Rock is one of the most sought-after climbing destinations in the world.
