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
So this route is an extension to Seams Novel 5.8, from the anchors you want to traverse left to move into the most prominent crack inside of the varnished flaked wall. From here you can protect the climb with a .75 cam and sling a chickenhead, move on up 20 ft and sling your last chickenhead and get ready for a runout of 40 ft on 5.6 slab climbing without pro placement and very mental and airy. Keep on trudging straight up until you hit a brittle ledge with a slanting seam where you build your anchor with #3, #2, #1 or .75 cams. The descent is the as for Great Red Book.
