Red Rocks, NV

The Approach: There are 2 newly established highlines at the second pullout. The smaller line is about 35 feet long and 50 feet high. It is located at the Stone Wall (sport climbing area). The 100 footer is located just before the Stone Wall.

The Rigging: Scrambling around to any of the anchors is a fairly easy task. There should be 3 bolts on each of the 4 anchors. Be careful when tensioning the 100 footer, because the rock the bolts are in is fairly soft.

The possibility of serious injury or death is inherent in any activity involving motion or height such as climbing, surfing, skating and slacklining. The equipment and activity discussed on this site are intended for use by properly trained, qualified participants under supervised conditions willing to personally assume all risks and responsibilities associated with slacklining, for which Slackline Brothers, Inc. absolves itself of all liability. Know that this information is mostly heresay, as we have not visited each highline destination. Before highlining, know your limitations and the limit of your equipment, and asses FOR YOURSELF the conditions of the anchors. Your rig and your safety are your responsibility, not ours! There is a good chance the information posted here is erroneous, and existing anchors may not be safe. Keep your equipment in good working condition. Test for loose fittings or fibers and or damage before each use. Always use a leash, or tether when highlining, and avoid falling whenever possible, especially when your falling zone is not clear of obstructions! Serious injuries/death may very well result from highlining. No one may reproduce any of the material on this site without previous consent by Slackline Brothers inc., and its authors.
