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
Getting There
Park at the South oak creek parking lot and walk the path until you reach the saddle between the Pimple and Wilson. From here continue 80 paces downhill and turn left on a well-cairned trail that works it's way up a ridge to reach a red cliff band.
The opening of the Aeolian gully is blocked by the red cliff band so we make for white rot gully which is the only real break in the cliff band. (You can avoid white rot on the descent by descending Aeolian gully, making 2 single rope raps at the bottom)When you reach the red cliff band, walk left until you see white rot gully which breaks through the red cliff.
Continue up white rot (pulling some 4th class moves) until you pass under a huge chockstone and climb left (easy 5th with a marginal hand rope) continue climbing until you can go over the ridge to access the Aeolian gully.
From here continue up, climbing over so many boulders, following occasional cairns that mostly keep you along the left side wall.
