The #1 thing that tends to get locals most fired up is definitely when they see people climbing on wet rock. Photo by AMGA Rock Guide Jesse Ramos Etiquette Tip #1: Don’t Climb on Wet Rock If you want to climb like a local in Red Rock, you need to know the local climbing etiquette and abide by it. So, before you head out to enjoy Red Rock’s picturesque sandstone, here’s the local climbing etiquette you need to know and follow. Part of our role within the climbing community is to educate people, advocate for local organizations, and help grow the sport in a sustainable way.
Growth will continue, but if people act responsibly and follow the local etiquette, they will minimize these impacts and keep places like Red Rock well-maintained for future climbing generations to enjoy. We know that places like Red Rock are becoming popular and that with crowds, inevitably comes more impact. We’re both AMGA Rock Guides who live in Las Vegas and guide extensively in Red Rock Canyon.
