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
Crux is right of the ground before the first bolt on powerful, bouldery, slightly overhang pockets, continue up the face as it slabs out past increasingly run-out bolts to the top of the formation. Walk off the top to climber's left across slabs to milder terrain
Protection
Bolts: 4 Quick-draws (bring an extra) The Anchor on this climb is a single bolt on top of the formation. It is possible to sling a large flake to climbers left and create an anchor using the rope to link the flake and the bolt when belaying a second. Alternatively, use slings and cord to create a top-rope anchor using the flake and bolt.
