About this spot

Peruvian Flake Boulder

The Peruvian Flake Boulder is a popular destination for rock climbers in the Las Vegas Wash watershed of Nevada. Located in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, this 50-foot boulder is considered one of the most challenging climbs in the area. The boulder is made up of a thin flake of rock that protrudes from the main body, creating an overhang that requires expert climbing skills to overcome. Despite its difficulty, many climbers are drawn to the Peruvian Flake Boulder for its reputation as a must-climb route in the area.

Aside from rock climbing, the Peruvian Flake Boulder offers stunning views of the surrounding canyon and mountains. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities in the nearby Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Additionally, the area is known for its wildlife, including desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, and mountain lions. The Peruvian Flake Boulder is a unique natural formation that offers a challenging climb and breathtaking views of the Nevada landscape, making it a must-visit destination for rock climbers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
