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
Two in the Busch climbs a series of easy cracks separated by vertical scrub oak thrashing to get to a beautiful 5.9 splitter dihedral two pitches off the base of the Monument.
P1: Start at a nice ledge with some giant huecos to stash your packs in, and climb a 5.8 finger crack to series of blocky ledges. Follow the blocky ledges up and right through some not too bad scrub oak to a huge ledge and a two bolt anchor.
P2: Off the comfy ledge climb an easy hand crack to a section of vertical jungle navigation significantly more arduous than the first. Climb these scrub oaks up and right to the base of the totally bitchin' dihedral you thrashed your way up here to climb. Make a gear belay and save your #1s for the next pitch.
P3: Negotiate a potentially awkward flare for about 3 feet to get to the climbing you came up here for. Lieback jam and smear up this awesome crack to its terminus at a roof. Step to the left and belay at a two bolt anchor. From here it's two raps to the ground with a 70m rope.
P4?: Adventurous (suicidal) climbers may proceed up and left through an extremely chossy roof crack with loose blocky jugs at about 5.10+ to another large ledge, where the route may lead to more climbing to the top of the Monument. There are no known anchors above pitch 3.
