Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste
Details
WET ROCK: The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. 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 bone-dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.
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.

Description
This climb starts on the obvious large Heucos on a small blunt arete right of "Cactus Head". A few steep and pumpy moves lead to a shallow corner, then straight up a headwall, (the lower crux), which sets you up for a nice seated rest on the sloping ledge above. The rest may be needed to tackle the large over-hang above that guards the anchors.
Climb up off the ledge on large unique left-downward slanting \sloping edges to the roof. Climb up and slightly right, easier, (go left for big holds, steeper hero fun) then hand traverse back left for 8-10' on good holds and one final move to the anchors.
