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
This is a possible second pitch to Straight Shooter. It begins by traversing 20' left from the SS anchor to a vertical seam with a bolt.
The reachy start is the crux but the climb is steep and engaging throughout. It's 60' long, with a 3 bolt anchor (2 old, 1 new).
This is harder than Mushroom People and a more technical lead. I thought the rock quality wasn't that great, but the immaculate first pitch may have clouded my judgment. An OK climb, but there are many better ones nearby.
