Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when 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
Multiple starts possible. The book says to start on the huge horn jug on the outside of the cave (often used as a heel/toe hook for the end of The High Road). One could add a few moves by starting on The Low Road, or remove a few easy moves by starting on the obvious shelf down and right of a slanting crimp rail.
Either way, move up and left through a slanting crimp rail and gain some bad crimps on the start of the slab. Aim for the amazing hueco jug before an easy but high top out.
Location
Start somewhere left of the cave and traverse left until topping out via the huge hueco hold. If you touch anything on Monkey Wrench you've probably gone too far.
