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.

See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.

Description

And all the tourists’ say Pretty High for a Climb Guy but make sure you take Offspring’s word and climb this route. Start the route going between the flake on the right and slab on the left. Press up into the crack……aretish climb and show your technical skills cause your muscles won’t do much on this route. With a tight bolting setup through the large crack, you feel confident that you got through the crux but now cross onto the main rock and continue your way through the crimp slab. Finally you see the end in sight, a long fun out of 5.5 to the anchors. Clip in and turn around…. Enjoy the beautiful view facing the eastern canyon towards Las Vegas. Beware the rope drag if you choose to top rope.
