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
Goon Squad is a dangerous bunch, totally lacking socially redeeming value; best to stay away entirely.
Amble up the blunt arete, then scoop above, then cracks. Search for solid rock and reliable gear placements that do not exist. Belay on ample ledges.
Descent: scramble down the herd path (to a nearby summit) to the left
