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
This fun scramble has surely been climbed over the years. It's a great way to ascend the formation and then scamper up to Red Cap Peak.
You may want to enter the climb on ledges from the far right side of the face. On the climb, when you appear to have a choice of right or left options, stay right. Rock quality is mostly good enough with ample options for protection.
This route can be climbed primarily or entirely un-roped. A few sections, especially up high, present some 5.5 moves which can be protected with medium-sized cams.
Descend by walking down pleasant gully to the north, or by rappelling High Scalin'.
