Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when wet.
Details
Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm, the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN RED ROCKS during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.
HUMAN WASTE Human waste is one of the major issues plaguing Red Rocks. The Las Vegas Climbers Liaison Council and the AAC provides free "wag bags" in several locations (Black Velvet, First Pullout, Kraft Mtn/Bouldering, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor). These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out - consider bringing one to be part of your kit (just like your rope and shoes and lunch) no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly (do not throw them in the toilets at the parking area).

Description
Fun climbing, but still has a fair bit of loose rock.
P1 (100', 5.10a): Located 40 feet right of Arrow Place, begin in a left-facing corner and climb up passing two bolts (a very loose flake lies between them - belayer beware). Instead of stepping right into the attractive arching undercling flake of Millepede, continue up the corner to a steep crux and then belaying on a slab on the right.
P2 (100', 5.11b): Clip a bolt off the belay and stand up onto a big loose flake. Plug in your smallest cam and perform a difficult move to better holds. Pumpy liebacks lead to a nice varnished face and a pair of bolts. Climb up this to an anchor (somewhat hidden off to the left).
Two raps to the ground.
