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.

A few pics from my last climb at Robbers Roost in Mt Charleston. I’ve only been climbing for a couple months now. So far its been quite a challenge, I have a lot of work to do to get better. I’m really happy though to find a new way to be closer to nature.
Nothing like some after work shenanigans to find some new rocks out in the middle of the Nevada desert. #tensionclimbing #flashedclimbing #pebblewrestling #gnarlyfueledthis #climbyourimpossible #gravitiesvictim #tahoeseason #tahoebouldering  #bouldering #trangoclimbing #fiveten #asanaclimbing #basecampreno #mesarimreno #climbingisbliss #aacgram #auraequipment #RiseTogether #fnxambassador #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_worldwide #adventuremore #liveclimbrepeat #teamgumbystrong #beheadwear #climbing #wallsaremeantforclimbing #amuerte
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.

A genuine gift is, not a source of fortune but, a reward for the tenets of one's self. Recognition from those close to you or simply from someone acknowledgeding your achievements. So the next time you find yourself in a difficult situation, holding onto the remnants of what feels tangibly possible for you, don't give up nor give in to those inner demons. May you find new horizons and recompense. 🥠🎁
