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 is a slightly left leaning hand to hand+ crack that sits up on top of an easy to scramble up ledge.
The crack itself is solid black varnish offering good protection but outside the crack is mostly lighter, softer, sandy, breakable rock.
This route is a fun jaunt if you’ve just done The Fox around the corner and is worth a look on the walk off.
