Lot's of interesting rock up there. I was wondering if any climbing activity was happening but then I saw a bolted anchor, with rap rings, on one of the formations closer to the road... near the pass.

Anyone have beta?

I took this photo overlooking Paradise Valley and Indian Creek Road, the road we came up on.

Right on Ron, pretty obscure area but seems like it has tons of potential.

Ha haa, I'm always "out and about", just in a new area, psyched to explore and finding some extra time to post, on my hands.

Some good looking potential sport climbs here...





This is the formation near the pass that had the bolts/rap station... nearly BASE jump-able.

Yeah, been looking at Limbo, as well. Nevada is a pretty damn awesome state!

How tall does it need to be for a BASE jump?

150' overhanging or at least 90 degrees for a static jump. 250' for a free fall. That's my range, anyway.

These sure look good.

Yup, those DO look good, matey. Lot's of crystals in them tharrr hills, too.

Just drove all the way through Nevada on the loneliest highway... There sure is some sick looking limestone out there!
