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
There are 8 routes, all bolted, with lower-off anchors.
There is a set of chains on the top of the formation that allows you to rap in and set top ropes on routes 1 - 5. Continue up the gully on the left until the top of the wall is reached.
Getting There
To get there:
2nd pullout, hike in and past Sweet Pain area and continue up the gully on the left of Hunter S. Thompson Dome. Look for the large pine tree on the right just past HSTD. All routes are on the sw facing wall.
Alternate route description: From 2nd PullOut take the main hiking trail down, at first signed intersection head left towards Sandstone Quarry, you'll gradually climb until a wide, flat area just beyond "Meister's Edge" is reached. Continue on the main trail a short distance and then turn right to drop steeply down on a climber's path. Cross a flat area and go straight-ish into a wash which will gradually swing around to the right. After 5-10 min (and after a few "steps" up) the area flattens out and becomes sandy. Turn left, headed for a steep gully (continuing straight leads to the Black Corridor) and follow the easiest path up this somewhat steep gully passing the Sweet Pain Wall on the left and, further up, Hunter Thompson on the right. Above this, trend right and up towards the MeetUp wall. The first time you do this hike, figure 45 min to an hour+ from the car.
