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
On the far right edge of the Angel Food Wall is a white slabby area. This route goes up a crack and chimney system on the far left of these slabs. Start in a dark chimney and move up and left past a dark overhang. The upper chimney/crack system continues for a few pitches. When it peters out, step left and make a few face moves to easy ground.
Descent: Scramble up and left to the top of the Angel Food Wall, then down the usual gully.

Location
One can approach via the standard Angel Food Wall trail then scramble right to far right portion of the wall. Alternatively, following the "waterfall approach" described in the Seraphim Wall is probably more direct and less brushy.
