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

P1 (5.5, 70'): Start about 30' left of Birdland on a pedestal of tan rock. Pull onto the black varnished face and continue up easy terrain with nice cracks for pro to a two bolt anchor in a notch at a good stance.

P2 (10b, 100'): Pull onto the brown varnished face, just right of the belay, moving past a bolt and up to a stance at a right facing flake under chunky rock. Climb through the chunky rock on nice holds, where pro may be sparse, to a horizontal with pockets for a hand-sized cam. Move up using a nice varnished seam, then left and up through the crux passing a bolt and mantling onto a nice stance at the base of a left sweeping crescent. Walk the crescent up and left clipping two bolts and eventually exiting left toward the edge of the face. Continue up the left edge of the face trending back right over nice varnish to a two bolt anchor.

Vol. 2 of the Red Rocks guidebook has a misleading picture that shows Psycho Date (10d) following the first half of Birdlaw's 2nd pitch. Pyscho Date starts 20' to the right at the Birdland 2nd belay and follows the right edge of the face.
