The Case Face is a climbing area in the Rainbow Mountain Wilderness of Nevada, within the Red Rock/Sloan Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management. It sits in a cluster of climbing and hiking spots that includes Graduate Cliff, Willow Spring, the Ragged Edges Area and the Lost Creek Trail, all about 0.1 mile away. Spring is the most comfortable time to visit. At a nearby weather station, typical April averages run to a high of 70°F and a low of 47°F, with only about two wet days in the month. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run cooler. Summer is hot, with typical July highs near 95°F. The area has seven climbing routes, with most done in trad style. The grades range from 5.4 on "Easy Case" to 5.10c on "Territorial Imperative." "DIC" is the only sport route, at 5.10. Red Rock Canyon Campground lies about 7 miles away.
