Nevada Rock Climbing

Whether you’re looking to scale an El Capitan-sized rock face, ascend the largest outdoor climbing wall on Earth, or looking for great rock climbing for kids, we’ve got you covered with thousands of routes and scrambles throughout uncrowded climbing terrain across Silver State. All you’ve gotta do is zero in on what type of climbing you want to do—bouldering, outdoor top-rope climbing, sport climbs, or trad climbing—gear up, and pick your route.

There’s no better place to get after rock climbing in Las Vegas than Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Named for its striking Aztec Sandstone—600 million years in the making—this national conservation area is one of the most popular in the country, beckoning millions of sightseers, scenic drivers, hikers, and, of course, climbers each year. Thousands of routes have been established in Red Rock and Calico Basin, and just 45 minutes beyond downtown Vegas, one of the best climbing areas in the West is incredibly easy to access.

The Cube... Have you climbed this one yet? There are 15 different bouldering routes on this rock...

I used two lume cubes to light the ‘cube’ and sent my buddy Richie up with a third all with diffusers on them. Shot on my Sony a7r4. .
Have a great week friends!

Not just a whip, a pig tail whip!

JJ (he/him) missed the crimp on the runout.
This was about as perfect a weekend as anyone could ask for. Climbed for 3 days straight at Red Rocks and spent quality time with some of my favorite people. So many amazing photos and stories to share. I’ve mentioned before that I’m learning to build and clean anchors and this is me rappelling after my 5th official clean and I suppose my 5th time rappelling as well! I’m really enjoying visiting all my regular hiking spots and seeing them as a climber. Next stop, Joshua Tree! .

We got out for some mild climbing with our party of three (#pregnancyjokes). FYI: there are postings about Falcon nesting at Castle Rock, but no official closures. Please be respectful of these creatures! They seemed to be at the top and north side of the rock, not in the gullies.
