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
I really enjoyed this climb. I was intending to get on Bottle Bill, but we certainly didn't climb anything that would match the description in the Handren book. So here's what we did climb:
P0 (15'): Scramble up either the left or right side of a wide flat pedestal just about 25' right Advanced Placement.
P1 (100'): From the back end of the pedestal, choose a corner to climb, then continue up white rock until you can gain the narrow chimney on the right. Deep in the chimney you'll find a silky smooth crack on the left that will take you to a tree-branch covered ledge. 5.8
P2 (150'): Crawl/squirm under the tree branches to the right to access the fun honeycomb-dihedral - it's a blast. Exit the dihedral by climbing knobs and flakes up and right to gain a 10x10 flat ledge. 5.7
P3 (110'): Head up wide crack in the corner, then continue up easy terrain until you're standing in the sun on the summit. 5.7
Rappel Edge of the Sun with an 80m rope.
