Nice climbing up a low angle slab using a variety of features.

Third from the left on the slab.  Crux start leads to fun chert tugging on perfect rock.

An engaging line requiring a little bit of La Fuerza to send. Climbs some nice features.

 

Climb up on the right side of the small grassy ledge and do the left of the two easy lines here. Fun chert and grey runnel pulling up the low angle slab.

This fine line has multiple cruxes and several good rests.  It just goes and goes and goes for 90+ feet (60 meter required).  It pulls a small roof at about 80 feet.  A great route.   

  Obviously, it is wise to avoid touching the massive detached flake which is right of this route.

A short adventurous line up less than perfect rock to the right of the massive scary flake.

 Proceed with great caution near the flake.

 Wabi-Sabi is the appreciation of impermanence and acceptance of imperfection.  Those that do not appreciate such should skip this one.

A striking line up the most beautiful part of the wall.  The first 25 feet have been done, but the decision of were to go from there (left/right) is TBD.  Open to anyone with the psych, power and the drill to do it.

The pretty blue streak on the far left side of the slab. This route get's a little "dusty" over the winter. Fun route on perfect stone.

 This is the first route on the left side of the main slab.

Fun climbing that gets a little harder the higher you climb.  Really fun and engaging for the grade. Great view of the peak as you climb.

A challenging start leads to fun in the sun chert climbing.

A fun and technical climb up perfect grey rock.  It's not over until the anchor.

Climb up on the grassy ledge and take the right line on this bit of the wall. Pretty fun cruising.

Clip a low bolt and pull on to the low ledge. Cruise up the low angle slab to the anchor.

 The first bolt is below the ledge on this one.  Whereas the first bolts for both Firstest and What If are on the slab above the grassy ledge.

The first route established here and one of the best. Amazing chert up the left side of the slab.

 This route is the second from the left on the main slab.  It has a very low first bolt and is distinguished by having huge chert the whole way up.

A dynamic start leads to continuous climbing to the anchor. Really good.

 

Top rope the direct straight up and down line off the Ditch the Beans anchor.  Independent climbing but would be a real squeeze job to bolt.  Easy enough to TR.

A cliff with some fantastic moderates and some remaining potential. The rock quality is very high and the trail is easy to follow as it is the well established Mary Jane Falls hike. This is a beautiful area with a perfect view down Kyle Canyon and up to the peak of Mt. Charleston. It is nicely situated about 2 minutes off the Mary Jane Falls trail, but it is perfectly hidden and quiet.

 The challenge with this wall is deciding when to climb there. It faces due south and is very sunny.  It is best very early in the morning during the summer, or all day when it is below 85 degrees in the valley (and you are in Red Rock). The best day I have had here was on New Years Eve (when it was about 70 in the valley).  The 65-85 degree window is ideal here (temps in Las Vegas, not on the mountain).  March and April tend to yield excellent conditions as does the fall.   Perhaps it will be a welcome escape in the Spring/Fall compared to waiting in lines at Red Rock. In the summer, the central slab gets sun by 9:30am and does not go back into shade until 4:30pm. The right wall stays in shade until about 11am. The 3 routes on the left wall get shade from the big pine tree and are pretty much always shaded.

 Thank you to those who contributed to developing this cliff.
