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
Short and bouldery route on the far right side of the crag.
Starts in a big, crumbly, and hollowed out section off the ground and immediately hits a desperate, thin crux on the blank face. After pulling this crux, you can catch a rest before traversing out left. The route continues through a series of fun, bouldery moves between edges and huecos along the steepening wall.
This is listed as 12a in the guidebook but the blank face moves at the beginning seemed too hard. Even after the initial difficulties, the steeper part of the climb still felt a step above nearby climbs at that grade. Knowing the rock, it is quite possible that holds have snapped off or deteriorated since the FA.
