Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste
Details
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 climbs the white-edged arete that divides the left and right halves of the Cauldron Wall. Expect fantastic, difficult climbing!
Solo up easy rock for 20’ to the start ledge shared with The Regatta and Waterboys; belay from the left end of this ledge.
P1 (5.11c, 200’): A monster pitch with sustained climbing and two distinct cruxes. From the ledge, step straight left to a mossy crack. Follow this up through a patch of orange rock and then work left to the arete via a flake. Follow the arete past gear placements and 9x bolts to an anchor at a small perch.
P2 (5.11a, 100’): Continue up the arete passing gear placements and 3x bolts to an anchor at the top of the wall.
Descend by rapping the upper pitch, then rapping rightwards to the anchor atop the first pitch of The Regatta, then a final rappel back to the starting ledge.
