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
The right route. Climb delicately up to a roof and hand traverse the loose, wide crack to where it turns the corner. Jam the offwidth with liberal use of Thank God (unless they break) face holds for hands and feet. There is solid, varnished rock inside the offwidth so protection is bomber. After about 40 feet the angle eases considerably along with the difficulties. Belay atop the rock at a large, flat area. Save a couple small to medium-sized pieces and a long sling or cordelette for the anchor.
