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
Fun little crag with sun early and shade later in the day. All routes have hook anchors. Just drop your rope into the hooks and lower/top rope directly off of the anchors. The first 2 routes share an anchor.
Bring a helmet and try to belay out of the drop zone for rocks. It is really dirty and will need many laps before it is cleaned up so know that going in.
All routes can be set up for top-rope climbing. Scramble to the top of the formation, locate the single bolt up there and lower in to the anchors. Clip in, pull your rope and drop it into the hooks.
