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
A fun jaunt for the 5.10 leader; if you’re a budding 5.6 leader, watch out for ledge fall and rope drag. Stem up the chocolate rock, swing left under the roof, clamber up the left-facing corner/chimney, and enjoy the right-facing corner to the top. Walk back to a tree.
Walk/scramble down to the left. The descent is easiest along the skier’s right wall; there’s a short downclimb at the bottom.
Location
Down and left of Escondite/Humidity Police Fugitive is a recess with three short cracks; Jungle Gem is the center crack & stem-fest in the middle of the recess.
Protection
