WHAT: “…the country's largest outdoor climbing festival.” Three days of sports clinics, including: mountain biking, trail running, climbing, bouldering, photography & climbing, and much more.

JanW tried to get SNP members “insider access” to the clinics, but was turned down by the event coordinator. They have a restrictive BLM permit, which severely limits their use of the park. That said, there’s nothing prohibiting us from photographing at either Red Rock or Spring Mountain Ranch Park during the RR Rendezvous events. Remember, both parks charge entrance fees.

WHERE: The RRR climbing clinics are at various locations around Red Rock (see climbing route info below). All other clinics and festival activities will take place at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park.

WHEN: March 19-21. The RRR Festival Schedule can be found at:

Clinics run from 8a-3p and from 9a-4p. The RRR Clinic Schedule is at: http://www.mountainge...

DETAILS: [From the RRR website]: “Most of the proposed Red Rock Rendezvous climbing clinic sites will be on the following crags located within four major areas within Red Rock…”:

• * First Pullout (i.e., Calico I): I understand that “The Hamlet” will be a hot spot. However, the only directions to it that I can find online are these: "This wall is between the Ultraman and the Panty Wall." Thanks to Cameron Grant for this online link to “Panty Wall” info: http://www.mountainpr...
  
• * Second Pullout (i.e., Calico II): I understand that “Black Corridor” (BC) is will be a hot climbing spot that day…. Here are directions I found online for getting there from the parking area: "To approach the BC, follow the trail from the parking lot until it forks, take the right fork and then take next left following the trail to the wash. Walk up canyon until it turns to the left (west), at this point walk over the slickrock past several pools of [seasonal] water to another wash. Cross this sandy wash to another slab of slickrock. Once you are on the slickrock, turn right (east) and follow it to the entrance of the BC." Thanks Cameron for this link to info on BC (includes a map): http://www.mountainpr...
  
• * Sandstone Quarry Area: Guide's Wall, Mass Production Wall, Wake-up Wall, Avian Wall, The Trophy, The Hall of Fame, Frictiony Face Panty Waist, Split Infinity, Nevada Book, Spikes and Twine, Sub-America Crag
  
• * Willow Spring: Ragged Edges Cliff, The Case Face, Black Tract Area, Outhouse Wall, Karate Crack Area
  

Unless you are familiar w/these climbing hot spots, your best bet might be to wait in the parking areas well before 8a, and follow the groups in to wherever they intend to climb.

Cameron Grant advises that “…it will be PACKED” that day.
