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
Climbs two pitches up to the base of the upper headwall at the top of the right/south side of the GRB formation. Start about 25’ left of the mushroom boulder at a left-facing flake behind some boulders. Anchors are fitted with pigtail lower-offs for easy rappelling down. That said, the varnish jugginess on the route will do its best to snag your rope! Bring 13 quickdraws and a 70m rope.
A nice 2-pitch route showcasing much of the typical climbing in Red Rock: varnish jugs, crimps, and a some friction slab, all with a great view!
P1: 5.8, 13b, 110': Climb the flake up to and over a slight bulge at its top. Continue up some slab passing to the right of a black varnish patch to steeper rock above. Next, climb the crux and into easier climbing along the right side of a crack/seam up to the anchors at a small ledge. Note: About halfway up, the route converges a bit with the route to the left, use caution if other climbers are present.
P2: 5.8, 11b, 90': Climb straight up off the anchor through some varnish jugginess to some easy slab climbing to the top. Anchors are at the base of a 4’ black varnish patch.
Rappel the route.
