While in Vegas for a short trip on 30 April, two USAF 7 Summits Challenge team members joined up for an easy climb in Red Rocks Nat’l Conservation Area.  If you’re not familiar- there are a few thousand climbing routes, many in sight of the Las Vegas Strip.  With Nellis Air Force Base near by, Red Rocks sees a good number of Airmen rock climbers.  If you are interested in getting in touch with any, feel free to use this site or our Facebook page to find a climbing partner.

Here are some photos and videos from the climb of Cat In The Hat, a 6-pitch trad climb that’s just 5.6.  Our climbers highly recommend it.
