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
Lots of fun climbing, marred by some sandy/chossy holds and a very wandering line.
Step off the boulder and execute a quality boulder problem through good rails and pockets to pull onto the slab. Snag a full-reset rest on the top of the slab. Afterwards, traverse onto the overhang and enjoy the bigger but sandy holds for a couple of bolts with a few very good kneebars thrown in as well. The distinct redpoint crux comes getting from the last bolt to the chains.
Location
Rightmost climb at the main section of the cliff, just right of the Beyond Reason face. The line tackles a slab before traversing left onto an overhanging arête.
