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.

See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.

Description

40 feet of climbing up a chute through a chimney that leads to the 7th pitch finish of Unimpeachable Groping. Usually done after your rope gets stuck after rappel from UI and you have to go back up to get it.

Location

Can be accessed by:

1. Climb Power Failure. Scramble up and right to the base of a well featured chute that leads up to the rappel base of the 7th pitch of Unimpeachable Groping.

2. After climbing to the top of the 7th pitch of UI, rappel over the ledge toward the 3rd class scramble to the final rappel on Power Failure. Turn around, look up and you will see a beautiful chute that leads to a chimney that begs to be climbed.
