Christmas Tree Pass Bouldering is a bouldering area in Nevada's Lake Mead National Recreation Area, within the Bridge Canyon Wilderness. The National Park Service manages the land, and the climbing sits among several other named bouldering spots, including Bleu Cheese Boulder and Dali Dome, all within a few tenths of a mile. The area is a compact cluster of boulders rather than a single route. Two bouldering problems are listed: Rounded Arete at V2 and Scorched at V3+. Both are bouldering grades on the V scale. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Searchlight show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 77°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. A fee is charged for access.
