Red Rocks I

Red Rocks is probably the most accessible winter climbing venue in the United States. It is only a couple hours drive from Joshua Tree, CA. and the Canyon Lands, UT. The climbing is unique with highly textured sandstone characteristic of holds found in a climbing gym. A great destination for boulderers, sport climbers and traditional crack climbers.

Pros
Climbable during the winter
Diverse terrain, bouldering, sport and long multi-pitch climbing
Great sandstone formations

Cons
A little too close to Las Vegas
Camping is available but rather sterile
Very hot during the summer
