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 upper tier is formed by the left side of a small gulley. On the outside, James Brown is the obvious brown streak and leftmost route on the wall. James Brown faces south and receives sun all day. The rest of the climbs are inside of an east-facing gulley that should be shaded most of the day by the opposite wall, except for a short period midday.
Getting There
See parent area for approach instructions. Once at the larger platform of the lower tier, head farther left beyond the gulley before cutting back right to avoid an unpleasant encounter with the bush in the gulley. There is a small platform directly below James Brown before entering the narrow gulley.
