Vegas, Nevada |
Join IMCS guides at Red Rock Canyon National
Conservation Area to climb in one of the United States' premiere rock
climbing areas. Climbers come from all over the world to experience
the magic beauty of climbing at Red Rocks, a 21-kilometer escarpment
that rises 900 meters from the floor of the Mojave Desert. The setting
is unsurpassed and the weather is always warm. Las Vegas provides
inexpensive air access and reasonable hotel rates along with plenty
of post-climbing entertainment options. IMCS guides will work under
the permit of Jackson
Hole Mountain Guides as they are one of the few services permanently
licensed to guide in Red Rocks. |

| Red Rocks offers climbs of all lengths
and difficulties on its multi-colored walls. From the popular sport
climbs of the Calico
Hills, multi pitch face routes on the Black
Velvet Wall to long multi day routes in Juniper and Icebox
Canyons, the area hosts numerous climbs of world-class stature.
The extensive canyon system of Red Rocks allow climbers to explore
the natural and archaeological wonders of this area in an uncrowded
and surprisingly remote setting, close to Las Vegas. Check out the
photo gallery of a classic climb called Solar
Slab on Rainbow Mountain in Oak Creek Canyon. |
The
best time to climb in Red Rocks is in March through early May and
October through early December. Eastern climbers have enjoyed Red
Rocks for many years because it is a great destination to start the
rock climbing season in late winter/spring when the conditions at
home here are too wet or still covered by snow. By the same token,
it has proven to be a fun place to finish the rock season in the late
fall when conditions here at home are getting too cold and the ice
is just starting to come into shape. With over 1,700 routes already
established, Red Rocks offers climbers of all abilities years of entertainment
on superb sandstone. |
