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
Best cliff here, perfectly overhanging, northwest-facing wall, just north of Trophy towards Turtlehead Peak. Hides the hardest collection of routes at Red Rocks and is probably the best wall for 13s. Not a crowded area either... yet... Not the greatest warm-ups though.
Getting There
Hike as you're headed towards The Trophy Wall but continue straight where Trophy trail heads right on Turtlehead trail. Once walls diminish, curve right down backside of cliffband til you see the sweeping overhanging wall about 70 ft tall. (This wall can also be accessed by hiking through Trophy area and down backside of cliff through a ravine -- not recommended).

I didn't speak up because the guy seemed to be local, or at least involved with locals who were establishing routes on the right side of the wall. I suppose MP user "aggressiveperfector" would be able to explain what the ettiquette is at this wall. Dec 2, 2018

Ya this what is called "cleaning" routes. Especially when it comes to choss, aka, all of Red Rox. There wouldn't be any routes on the Secret 13 Wall without substantial/heavy cleaning and a generous use of Sika. It's just the way it goes buddy, sorry to break this news to you. Almost every other sport crag in the country is the same.
Hope this helps to clear it up for you. Dec 2, 2018
The guy must have been joking. But Im not even sure what your getting at? If he was scratching and wacking at "rotten" rock with a stick that sounds like cleaning a route.
But holds have been broken and repaired glued etc on that wall since day one.
If you don't like it go somewhere like the valley and climb on all natural piton scars. Dec 2, 2018
