We will climb together as a private group, so the entire experience is focused on you and your crew. We will hike up to the cliffs of Calico Basin, spend the morning climbing classic sandstone routes, and capture photos along the way so you can relive the adventure long after the trip. This is your chance to step off the Strip and do something unforgettable — real rock climbing in the desert, just minutes from Las Vegas.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Morning session begin at 7am. All trips begin and end at the Red Springs Trailhead, aka The Calico Basin Trail, located just 30 minutes from downtown Las Vegas. Parking is free and you do not need a park pass to enter. Look for Mike and his white mini-cargo van.
What to expect
Once there, the adventure begins. We’ll spend the session climbing classic Red Rock routes, each chosen to match your ability level. New climbers will enjoy fun, beginner-friendly climbs that highlight movement, balance, and the unique feel of sandstone. More experienced climbers can step it up with steeper or more technical lines for a bigger challenge.
Between climbs, we’ll take in the wide-open desert views, catch our breath, and enjoy the peaceful desert vibes. When the session wraps up, we’ll hike out together on an easy trail back to the parking area.
We’ll finish before midday, leaving you with plenty of time to head back into Las Vegas—with the unforgettable satisfaction of having climbed real desert rock.
All activities are led by Mike Donaldson, a certified professional climbing guide. Guiding services are provided under the authority of officially licensed and permitted operators within Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
