Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when wet.
Details
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
An adventurous 'easy' trad climb that can be combined with other like climbs in the area.
Pitch 1: Stem, chimney and tiptoe your way up the oscillating crack system. Crispy and hollow are adjectives that describe some of the rock on this pitch, but generally you'll find holds that work and protection that offers security. Belay on a sloping ledge just below the upper slabby crack. (5.5, 80 feet)
Pitch 2: Surmount a short section of varnish, then charge up the obvious lower-angled crack system to a bush. Belay at the bush, or move left past the bush into an alcove (may present rope drag issues). Rock quality and protection are good on this pitch. (90 feet, 5.5)
Both pitches can be combined into one long pitch.
Descent: Downclimb the 4th-class ramp to a ledge system with trees. On the ledge go skiers left to a bush with a rappel station fabricated with ropes and tat. Rappel into the tight slot with chockstones. This is Nadia's Niche. Not a trivial rappel, so be mindful. A single 70-meter rope gets you down to the ground. A 60-meter may or may not get you all the way down.
Location
This route is 20 feet left of Chutes and Ladders. Both routes begin on a ledge system that is roughly 50 feet up off the ground.
Approach as for Nadia's Nine. A large niche in the cliff exists about 100 feet to the right of Nadia's Nine (just before a tunnel). We can call this niche Nadia's Niche. Leaving your large packs here can be a good strategy as you'll likely rappel Nadia's Niche at the end of the day.
From Nadia's Niche work your way right about 200 feet to a bushy slope that you will negotiate up to the ledge. Remnants of an old dead pine tree can be found here. A few isolated moves on rock get you on to the vegetated ledge. Work left a few dozen feet to the base of the two climbs.
Protection
A single rack to 4-inches should satisfy most parties. Doubles to 3-inches is recommended if doing this climb in one long pitch. A #6 cam could be justified if you want maximum security on pitch 1. A #5 cam can be used at the belay atop p1. A few small - medium nuts can be used for the opening section on pitch 2.
