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
Another Black Corridor route, this time with the crux down low with one heck of a tricky mantel move.
Location
This is the 5th route on the left wall (East Facing) in the Upper Black Corridor and only 4-5 feet to the right of Dancin' with a God. Start the route on a small left facing flake and pull the difficult mantel about 10 feet up.
Protection
5 Bolts should find you at the fixed anchors for your rappel; stick clipping the first bolt on this route would be recommended.
All bolts and anchor replaced in mean ass heat yesterday. The second bolt would have pulled if it took a hard fall. Moved the replacement bolt to solid rock, also had to move the third substantially to find good rock.
Use your hammer to tap the rock before drilling, please. Jul 22, 2011
