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
This is a delightful face climb, mostly on delicate varnished edges, with a tough move at a small crack near the bottom where the wall is steepest, and another one close to the top on rounded holds where there is little varnish. On October 21, 2023 we top roped OHC, from the top, then descended the Happy Acres descent route. You could also descend by rappelling the route.
Location
There is currently no lead protection (except for one ancient, rusty rivet that can not be trusted). However there are three 2-bolt anchors: at the bottom, about 1/2 way up, and at the top. You can reach the top anchor by scrambling up the Happy Acres descent or, better, by climbing Greek Tragedy (per the Handren guidebook) (sometimes called All That Jazz) then scrambling straight right, along a good ledge and past a bush.
