Your Star Rating:
Access Issue: RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is 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
Start on the junky slab below the gray stripe on the steep face above. Carefully climb your way up to the first bolt, which is about 20 feet up. Clip the first bolt, catch your breath, and head up the beautiful, juggy, steep water streak. No hold is smaller than a finger pad, but the route is so steep that you are still working for it.
If it were not for the sketchy start to the route, I would give this route four stars. One of the best steep 12a's in Red Rock.

Location
This route is located near the Hall of Fame area. Exit the Hall of Fame to the South (the end facing the canyons), and turn right (west) and head towards gullies that lead south and down. The left most gully is the easiest to negotiate. Once at the bottom, again head right (west) and look up. The route sits by itself on a big boulder to the right of a large, smooth scoop feature.
