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
The East Face of Rainbow Mountain is home to some nice climbs and wide cracks that are scattered along its base to the south of the height of land in the center of the mountain. A semi-adventurous craging area that so far has received only what seems like sporadic visits, despite the good quality of most routes.
Getting There
Approach from Oak Creek, hiking the main trail until you reach the sign for the Knoll Trail to the North (right). Take this trail North for approximately 5 minutes looking for a faint trail on your left that leads up towards the East Face routes. Follow this faint trail passing occasional cairns to the base of the wall. It is helpful to spot the routes from the trail to know what you're aiming for.
