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
This nice sport area has a good mixture of 5.10 to 5.12 climbing. It is a bit involved to get to and entails some 4 class climbing. It should be more popular than it is.
The left wall and upper tier are sunny until late afternoon, while the right wall gets shade until midday. Both sides are in the sun in the early afternoon. Generally somewhat sheltered from winds, especially from the north.
Getting There
From the first pullout hike up the drainage as if going to the Dog Wall. Continue past both the Dog Wall and the Fixx Cliff. Once past the Fixx Cliff wander up and right into a slot. Fourth class up to the spacious belay ledge. There is a single bolt and quick-link for an optional rappel to descend.
