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
Chasing Shadows is a fun P3/4 variation to Dark Shadows that is worth doing if Dark Shadows is crowded or after rapping down. Head up and right from the P2 anchors on Dark Shadows into the right most of the two cracks. Follow a fun hand crack to a wide section with some poor/loose rock. Place your number 4 C4 and have a #3 ready. Face climb around the OW crack to a varnised wall above. A tiny cam protects the final runout moves to a two bolt rappel anchor. The second pitch heads up and then traverse out right past 3 bolts. Easier runout climbing leads to the two bolt anchor on Edge Dressing.
