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

A tenuous seam with interesting movement and convoluted beta. Probably the worst of the climbs on the boulder due to rope logistics, rock quality, and fall zone, but still worth 3 stars in its own right.

Stand start (Same as Top Access) with a good high crimp above head height, either matched or with a small two finger crimp to the right. Perform a slab style mantle to get into the scoop, then begin the layback crimp fest that continues up and to the left for 20 feet with some challenging moves before the jugs at the end. The landing for most of the climb is a bush and the is high and rather poor. With 5 or 6 pads you could have a decent amount of cushion, but falling is still not recommended.

The rock quality in the seam is good, but there may occasionally be holds that chip slightly.

The easiest way to work this climb on top rope is to use the bolt immediately above Big Delicious and figure out the top half by leaning to the right as best you can. To work the bottom half, wrap the rope around the large square edge halfway between Top Access and the bolt, and then run it immediately to the right back down to the beginning of Fully Fledged.
