Suburban Crag is a climbing area in Nevada, set within Lone Mountain Park on county land. It sits among a cluster of other crags, with Lone Mountain just 0.1 mile away and Cheap Beer Crag and Urban Crag each about 0.2 mile off. The area is managed by the county, and the routes here are all sport climbing, with grades ranging from 5.7 to 5.12a. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Las Vegas show April highs around 78°F and October highs around 81°F, while July averages climb to about 104°F. That station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the crag, so temperatures on the rock run a little cooler. Among the 20 routes, Blood, Sweat and Tears is a 5.7, and Beltway is the hardest at 5.12a. Other options include Magnificent 7 at 5.9- and In the Spotlight at 5.11a. For a walk, the Lone Mountain Loop is about 0.6 mile away.
