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
Do you like low ball, sloper traverses? Well then you are going to love this problem. Begin on the left (east) end of the boulder matched on a good jug and your left heel on the lip. Ride the lip of the boulder using subtle features until you can mantle out into a varnished dihedral on the far right (west) end of the boulder.

Location
From the Kraft lot, follow the gravel road west, past the old building foundation. From here, hike up the flank of the mountain in front of you, trending up and right. The boulder will be hidden during the ascent, but will eventually come into view as you gain elevation. See the reference photo for more clarity.
