Access Issue: IMPORTANT notes on Wet Rock and Human Waste
Details
WET ROCK: The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. 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 bone-dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.
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.

Description
Slabby start on somewhat delicate rock that leads into a nice hand crack. This steepens to a bulge which is easily stemmed through and then eases significantly. Move right into the crack/groove until it becomes 4th class and build a trad anchor there. Escape climber's right to the normal descent from Rose Tower.
Location
Once you top out on Rose Tower, look west and you will see an obvious crack up the large slab face. Traverse the 4th class slab to the start (navigating a narrow but deep chasm, easily crossed higher up). Find the water streak and start climber's left on some slab that leads to the hand crack.
