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
Visible from below, this is the right hand of the two cracks that lie to the right of Straight Shooter. Approach as per Straight Shooter and then work right along the base of the cliff until you reach a wide chimney with a chockstone in it. Work your way past the chockstone to reach the route.
Pitch 1: Ascend the wide crack to a large ledge.
Descent: Work left and down along the ledge toward Straight Shooter to a pair of old bolts with chains. A single rope rappel brings you back to the base.
