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
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.
