Chick Magnet Sector is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in Nevada, within the Las Vegas Field Office. It sits right next to two other climbing areas, Sun City and Digimon Sector, both about 0.1 mile away, which makes it easy to pair with them on a single visit. The area is a sport climbing destination with seven routes, all rated between 5.10a and 5.12a. The hardest is The Ghost of Butt Hut Past at 5.12a, and the easiest is Chick Magnet at 5.10a. The routes are all sport, and several have named first ascents, including Chick Magnet by Dan Snyder and The Ghost of Butt Hut Past by Bill Ohran. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 76°F and October highs around 78°F, while July averages climb to about 101°F. That station sits roughly 1,550 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run cooler. The closest climbing is across the line in Arizona, with The Grail and The Sacred Trust about 4 miles away. For a change of pace, the Old Spanish Trail hike lies about 7.5 miles off.
