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
If you ever find yourself wandering from the vicinity of Dog Police to Community Pillar, Honeycomb Chimney, Small Purchase, etc. then you might see this line. If that's the case you could potentially climb this line.
To the left of Community Pillar is a amphitheater like feature with a splitter handcrack next to a corner covered in bushes. This is Andy & Jason's Mediocre Adventure.
Scramble up dirty ledges to reach the varnished crack. Use the adjacent corner on the right to get into the crack. About 20 feet up you'll be forced to commit to the left crack. Lieback & jam your way up this to the top where a slopey and lichen encrusted chimney awaits. Up this and anchor at a tree.
A sling and locker remain for the rappel after the coveted 2nd Ascent of this beauty.
