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
After hiking past Side Effects we couldn't help to want to climb the chimney behind of the formation. Like much of Moderate Mecca, the rock is soft and loose. Scramble up into the interesting chimney. There are plenty of face holds and the chimney makes the route feel very secure. Climb up the rock face using an abundance of holds and top out on the upper tier. We took a rack and rope just because we didn't know what we were getting our self into but ultimately didn't place any gear because the climbing is so secure. Its easy 5th class at best. This aint no Joe Herbst chimney!
The chimney is filled with rocks. Careful knocking stuff down.
