Comedy Crags is a climbing area in Nevada on Bureau of Land Management land within the Red Rock/Sloan Field Office. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Comedy Crag Right about 0.1 mile away and Cactus Joes about 0.2 mile away. The area has two sport routes, A Cat's Tail at 5.10b and Triple Word at 5.11c. Both are sport climbs, and the grade range runs from 5.10b to 5.11c. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 70°F and October highs around 75°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. That station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the crags, so temperatures at the crags run cooler.
