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 the extension to the short route called Glass Half Empty. It effectively doubles the length of that route, adding some fantastic climbing with no real increase in difficulty. Almost fully bolted - just bring a medium stopper (I used a BD #9) to tame a run out between the first and second bolts of the extension.
Begin with very thin climbing (crux fingerlock-pinch at the fourth bolt) and continue past the anchor through some beautiful varnish and somewhat sporty bolt spacing to a shared anchor with Bad Blood. The final bolt is equipped so as to help with cleaning the pitch.
NB: Be gentle yarding on the righthand undercling flake at the start.
