Description
[Edit]Red Rocks is easily accessible from Las Vegas and has 1,000+ climbs spanning sport, trad, multipitch and bouldering disciplines. It has sunny weather and stays cool in the winter months - truly a gem!
Red Rock sandstone is particularly soft and fragile after it rains. Do not climb for 24-72 hours after rain. If the ground is wet, do not climb. If the top layer of dirt is dry, dig into the dirt several inches, the sand should be dry and powdery. If it has any moisture the rock is still wet.
To see whether it has rained, you can go to wetrockpolice.com/redrock to see the last rain event.
