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).

Getting There
Approach is roughly 30 min with pads. From Kraft parking, head to Monkey Bar boulder, the continue into gateway canyon. Passing Pork chop, then Mr Moran, head left onto the north hillside in the weakness. Aiming roughly 2 o'clock up hill from Mr Moran, Seek and Destroy is tucked under a nice perched rock. Facing away from Seek towards Moran you will look directly at the Target Acquired boulder, which has 3 distinct climbs on the north face. None of the problems listed are physically visible from the gateway canyon wash.
