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
A fun route that can be a bit sandy in the first 30' as the angle and features collect any wear from above. A nice thin hands and finger crack lead to a cool (figuratively and literally) chimney on the second pitch has a tricky and exciting exit. New route as of 2022, it was thoroughly cleaned but be mindful of any leftover friable rock.
P1: 5.11a, 100'. Start in a left-facing corner next to some blocks on the upper ledge, immediately at the top of the scramble access. Climb past some soft, sandy rock to a bolt at 20' then onto a pod/ledge before heading up the crack above. As the crack closes out to a right-facing corner, the angle eases off, and a bit of face climbing leads to a short, left-facing, corner crack. Climb up another twenty feet to the mouth of a deep chimney with a small ledge and bolted anchors.
P2: 5.10d, 70'. Walk into the chimney about 10' until it narrows just past a large scoop on the right wall. Climb up and into the chimney towards the back roof. Pop out of the chimney as the roof closes it off to a 3-4 inch crack then into a low-angle corner above (crux). Continue another 30' up the low-angle corner to anchors. Bolts in the chimney then gear to 3" above (#4/5 optional).
