Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste Details

WET ROCK: The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. 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 bone-dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

HUMAN WASTE: Human waste is a major issue plaguing the area. The Southern Nevada Climbers Coalition (SNCC) works to provide "wag bags" free of charge in several locations: Black Velvet Canyon, The Hamlet, Kraft Mountain Area, 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 daily kit no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly. Do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas.

See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.

Description

NOTE: DO NOT START THIS ROUTE ON THE LOWER TIER TO THE LEFT OF CAUSTIC. The future of this crag depends on it.

A very fun route that includes some footwork and fun moves on slightly overhanging rock.

As of January 2025: Per the BLM's request, the anchor on this route has been moved higher and climbers left to help preserve natural artifacts. It is recommended that if you are going to top rope this route, do so with all the quickdraws clipped and do not start on the lower tier just to the left of Caustic. Failure to follow this advice could put the future of this crag in jeopardy.
