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
The Pier is a convenient, shady crag with a good number of routes, though some are a bit short and/or low quality. The climbing is mostly typical Red Rock style, crimpy on slightly overhanging terrain, although there are some cool hueco and crack features which add some character to some of the routes.
The wall faces almost due north and is fully shaded at most times throughout the season, though it catches a bit of sun at the end of a long spring day. The wall can be sheltered from the wind depending on the direction.
The most popular lines like Under the Boardwalk have cleaned up well but are more likely to be occupied, while some of the other lines have not seen much traffic over the years and are still cleaning up.
