Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste Details

WET ROCK: The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. 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 bone-dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

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

This route was originally one of three top rope only routes by Mark Limage and Jake Burkey that have now been bolted. Start about 12ft right of Slab-A-Dab-A-Doo. Climb left then go straight up the slab to the anchor above the break.

With better rock quality than some of its neighbors, this is a solid beginner route.

Also called "Slabotomy" in Handren's 2016 guidebook.

Location

This route is in the center of the wall, the 8th from the left and also the 8th from the right. It can be located by finding the only set of chain anchors which are on the upper portion of the wall and about 5 or 6 feet higher than all the others. This route is about 12ft right of Slab-A-Dab-A-Doo and 8ft left of Slab Line.
