08-The Promised Land

This crag is not for the faint of heart. The approach is replete with a rough dirt road and a 1hr hike up hill. If that sounds like fun then you will be well rewarded with some of the best limestone tufa pullin' in the country.

The Promised Land is climbable all year. During the winter the wall gets sun until around 2:30. Plan on climbing in the sun if it's below 60 in Vegas. Plan on climbing in the shade if it's above 65 in Vegas. During the hotter months the sun is high enough in the sky that most of the wall is in the shade all day, however, the hike up can be brutal. It is usually breezy and cool in the shade so bring something warm for when you're not climbing.

Typically there is nobody else at the wall. If you're tired of the crowds at Red Rocks, you don't mind hiking, and you are interested in climbing 5.12 - 5.14 then this crag is a really great option.
