Access Issue: Kraft Boulders parking
Details
When bouldering at Kraft, be sure to park along the paved road, and NOT on the private driveways!
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
The Pearl is the classic line on the boulder, and one of the most popular in all of Red Rock. It's popularity is mostly due to its obvious presence directly off the main trail in the most popular sector, Kraft. The face is slightly overhanging, and the start holds are small. The line is on the southeast face and gets sun until mid-afternoon.
Start with a left hand pocket and right hand lower crimp. It's really only a move or two until you are home free. Descent is on the opposite side of the boulder.
