        This Spring, IFMGA guide Mark Allen will be guiding through his outfitters network in the Southwestern US to take advantage of North America's prime rock climbing season: October. Please join me on a trip geared to your liking in Red Rock National Conservation Area (NCA), just out side of Las Vegas.
        With the variety of traditional cracks and sporty face climbs, Red Rocks has something to offer for every skill level, from beginner to seasoned rock climbers. This world-renowned climbing area and desert mountain environment make the perfect combo in creating a rewarding climbing trip.Plus, did I mention these are day-trips? How civilized! Days end with beer at the ale house, planning the next best outing!

ABOUT THE CONSERVATION AREA

Red Rock Canyon was designated as Nevada's first National Conservation Area located 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip on Charleston Boulevard/State Route 159. The area is 195,819 acres and is visited by thousands of climbers each year. In marked contrast to a town focused on entertainment, bling-bling, and gaming, Red Rock Canyon offers hundreds sport climbs, moderate multi-pitch rock climbs, and long Alpine routes, and treks. "Alpine Routes" you ask? Absolutely. The nature of the red rock terrain is such that it yields climbing that requires the skills of an alpine rock climber. Tall faces and towers, interesting approaches, adventure climbing, and complicated descents evoke many of the same strategies required to climb in places like Washington Pass in the North Cascades or the High Sierra in California.

So Come on out! Bring the family and combine it with a trip to Vegas, Stay on the strip or one of the more quiet modest ranches. Lets work out the best trip for the time you have. Drop me a line and lets do it!

SPEND NOVEMBER IN JOSHUA TREE, CA



The Quartze Monzonite rocks and the Joshua tree forests provides a unique escape from your home. There are literally hundreds of crags here like this one located in pristine desert for your climbing enjoyment.  ~Photo Mark Allen

TRIP DATES NOVEMBER 1-DECEMBER 1st
WHY JOSHUA TREE?
November is just the tip of the J-Tree prime season. Each year many climbers from all over the world travel to Joshua Tree which has more established routes than any climbing area in North America. It could very well be the most popular climbing area in the world. What climbers experience here today is the result of several generations of climbers who have come before them. This has influenced the climbing ambiance of Joshua Tree to be a very commutative and relaxed environment. This November Mark Allen's Expeditions Northwest (ENW) will be running custom trips through local outfitters offering the most accommodating rock cragging trips in the park. 
NUTS AND BOLTS:
ENW can customize your trip to suite your groups climbing style, skills needed, and logistics required to maximize your time here.  All you need is a small carry-on or ruck sack in your car with a few basic essentials and the rest is easily provided.  Food, camping essentials, shelter, or accommodations can be arranged through my service.
