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
P1: Up the corner/hand-crack; into the dark chasm; past some choss to lovely, featured varnish, to the light; belay on an ample ledge.
P2: Tiptoe over the chasm and ascend the corner and lesser chasm to blocks. Behind, up an uninspiring 20’ of sandy crack (first gear in solid rock = #6, followed soon by #4) to a sloping ledge with small oak trees. Either rappel to the top of Coming of Age/Bighorn Campus Coffee House (<30 meter) or better yet
P3: Scramble up ledges to the base of the crispy but fun #5 camalot corner crack; negotiate the move into the crack proper, climb it; up blocky terrain to a slung-block rappel.
