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
Compared to the neighboring classics Graveyard Waltz and Running Man, this climb is more difficult, heady, and chossy.
Begin on top of the boulder creating the Running Man corridor. Instead of clipping the first bolt, stick-clip the second or even third for safety, as failing to clip the third will likely lead to decking. The crux is right off the ground, so punch it! Afterwards, a decent stance allows a brief shake before firing into the rest of the climb. The remainder is a bit easier and feels similar to Graveyard Waltz.
