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).

Watch out for rope eating cracks when pulling, and throwing ropes. I saw some rope remnants deep inside a crack, and ours almost got eaten too in the same spot. Jun 16, 2006

The second pitch added nothing to the route, other than an awkward, extra rappel. Apr 14, 2010

We were still using 60m twins and when pulling the rope it didn't look like a single 60m would reach from the top to the next station down. 70m looks like it would though.
Also of note about the rope eating dragons, don't toss your rope down from the top as it seems that it will eventually slide down and pile up into the deep crack. Especially with knots on the ends. I've now have a core shot about 5ft from the end of my rope from wrenching it up through the crack. Oct 10, 2016
