There is some of the best rock climbing opportunities in the states in Nevada.  Like the Pequops that can be found only an hour east of Lamoille Canyon down I-80.  There you can find more routes than you could climb in a week or more.  They range from 5.8 to 5.13 and are extremely tall.  All routes are bolted and some require as many as 14 draws.  The rock is limestone and the climbing experience is one you will remember for a long time.  If you are camping know that it is a primitive site so bring plenty of water and pack your trash out when you leave.
