Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste
Details
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
Unlike its neighbor, which feels like a full route with how sustained and varied it is, this one feels much more like a slab boulder problem with bolts. Nonetheless, the fantastic rock and unique movement still make this one worthwhile.
Easy compression through the bottom offset leads to an immediate crux to navigate through a very blank section of the wall. There is a brief reprieve on a couple of positive edges cut into a sloper rail before another quick crux to surmount this rail. Easier moves above the last bolt on more friable rock lead to anchors.
The route is on an east-facing wall and may get some morning sun, especially towards the top, but it is probably mostly shaded all year due to the surrounding rock.
