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
Work some juggy holds through the first bolt, where thin, positive crimps trend leftward into a short traverse. The pump carries directly into the arguably single-move crux of the route. Get your feet right, manage your pump, and its over. The remainder of the route is simply good, technical climbing. Crimps, high-feet, and a couple of lovely jugs.
I managed to break off two or three holds, and its admittedly still a bit sandy, but the movement is very good! A worthy route that will clean up nicely. Give this thing some love!
