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

An easy crack leads up to a cool belay in a cave with a small tree. Exit the cave to the right then follow a crack back left and eventually climb over a ledge varnished block and belay next to another tree. Climb the corner straight above, passing a large roof to a wide crack. Near its top, this crack features a tight constriction. If you are unable to squeeze through (like us), move right to a possible belay. Climb up and left on varnished holds to regain the crack where it has widened. Continue up past the overhang and follow the thin crack to a good ledge where "Ride the Wind" joins from the right. Another short pitch up the flared chimney above leads to a belay ledge shared with Foolish Other. You can rappel with one rope (ending at the base of Foolish Other).
