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.

Description
Direct start to Killer Joe. Stick clip the 2nd bolt on Killer Joe, and start on a crimp rail in the otherwise-blank, dark face. Long moves on mostly good edges and sidepulls with awkward feet culminate in a tough move up to the clipping holds of the 2nd bolt of Killer Joe. Finish as for Killer Joe with easier climbing to a runout slab.
Opening boulder problem seemed to be in the V3-V4 range. Easier and arguably more enjoyable than the similarly bouldery route to the left, with a tricky and sustained entry sequence.
