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
Depending on what you like, this may be the best route at the crag. This steep route up varnished rock takes you up a type of right facing corner finger crack. However the finger crack, at times, will not allow any locks, so there are several sections that involve fun and thoughtful finger layback moves. The first 10 feet or so move up on rotten white rock, but don't let that fool you into thinking the rest of the route isn't really good.
Reach a small ledge after climbing the first stellar 50 feet. From here, do a bulgy offwidth move on suspect rock to achieve an easy 4th class right leaning ramp for 20 feet or so. After moving up 20 feet on the ramp, step back out left onto the beautifully black varnished face and face climb the rest of the way on relatively steep but pretty moderate rock. Anchor shared with F-15 Eagle Crack.
