Red Rock, Nevada: An interesting spot and only 40 mins from Vegas!?

Red Rock Nevada was an interesting spot.  I arrived Friday night and only had Saturday to shoot.  I look forward in exploring different climbing spots, with more than a day to camp and climb.  The stars at night were competing with the spot light projecting from the top of Luxor casino on the far horizon of our campground.  The group had plans to celebrated Elliot's dirty 30 and  so we drove to Vegas Saturday night.  Red Rock campground was only 40 mins away from the Vegas strip.  So the next time you are on the strip of Vegas and have spent all your money on booze, gambling and strippers, visit  Red Rock campground it's a great place to find your sanity again.  A beautiful spot,  so close to all the sin!

I really enjoy the camaraderie that comes from the group through boulder climbing, it is so much fun!  And there is so much cheerleading and group support that pulls and pushes your limit to make the boulder problem happen.
