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
Start at a 4', left-facing flake above some scrub oak. Climb up slab to a crux bulge at about halfway, then some friction moves before gaining the varnished jugs to the anchor. With Mark's blessing this route was updated with more bolts to be more approachable to leaders at its grade (thanks Mark!). The original three Metolius bolts are still in use if you want the OG experience.
There is a 5 bolt (glue-ins) extension that goes up and left, and meets the recently replaced glue-in anchor on Chips Ahoy. This extension goes at about 10a and is 115', watch your rope ends.
Location
Elementary Primer starts about 40' right of the mushroom boulder and 10' left of the start of the corridor that forms betweens the ledge and the wall, where Stone Hammer. and Seams Novel begin.
