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 the easiest way to connect from the top of Cactus Flower Tower to the Summit of Mount Wilson. From the Notch, make the rappel and set up a belay. One short pitch takes you through a bush to a big ledge below featured rock. From Here a rightward traverse (crux) on friable rock takes you to easy terrain on the skyline. A long section of low fifth takes you to the ledge system where Gift of the Wind Gods tops out. From here, either descend, or continue to the summit via the "cleaver" scrambling route. For the Cleaver route. Make your way to the notch behind the obvious pirate wall tower. From here, look slightly climbers right and find a manky piece of fixed webbing on a ramp. Low fifth class following cairns takes you to the top of a rib. Follow this rib to the summit plateau.
