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
Revolver is a non-classic overhanging invert offwidth crack that would be a boulder problem if the ground wasn't 4th class below it. Not exactly splitter, but a fun exercise in negotiating steep wide terrain. This could be relatively easy or heinous depending on your size.
Getting There
Nothing near it, only vaguely Alternative Crag.
Approach from Kraft parking lot, heading up the gravel road towards the abandoned foundation. The crack can be seen above the foundation and faces east toward the parking lot. It is best to approach it from the top with a little down scramble to the base of the "route".
