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
Sit start in a juggy seam/crack about 10 feet to the left of Lethal Design.
Make some powerful moves up and right through a second seam until you reach jugs at the lip near a beach all sized depression.
From here mantle with thin patina flakes and make the quest up the easy headwall to a sloped top.
Tread very lightly up high, this route rarely has chalk on it and the flakes feel very fragile, a fall from here could be disastrous.

(I opted to smear on the good varnish for my footholds in the upper section rather than use the flakes because I was uncertain if they would break, more traffic and cleaning of the route would fix this)
