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

Overhanging crimp/pocket line. Nice movement over a gently down slope landing. Start with left hand on side pull left of arete, and right hand on blunt downpull on arete. Down climb via chimney on right side of problem.

Originally graded v5 by first ascentionist. I believe when comparing this problem with others similar in style (memento mori comes to mind) in the RR area, v4 feels more appropriate. Since the FA, there has also been a handful of new holds cleaned, several small breaks resulting in positive edges, and new beta opened by other climbers, also leading to the lowering of grade from v5 to v4. Possibility of a v5 grade for the smaller climber (likely sub 5'4" range).

Location

Located in Ash Creek spring. Follow from kraft parking towards building foundation, follow trail down into wash, and continue on Ash Creek Spring trail for roughly 10 min, passing the large trees in bottom of wash. At the BLM trail sign, before Connectivity boulder, turn hard left up hillside. Problem will be on climbers left when facing uphill. Roughly another 5 min up the hillside. Shade most days/times.
