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.

See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.

Description

Our Father is an absolutely fantastic climb that goes up the right side of the Wholesome Fullback pinnacle.

Begin just right of the Delicate Sound of Thunder at a shallow left-facing, left-leaning corner.

P1: Climb the corner at 5.7+ to a tree. Belay or easily link with P2.

P2: Continue up the runout face above, generally trending left, past one bolt. Ignore the old hangers off the the right. 5.9+ serious.

P3: Climb the obvious, beautiful right-facing corner to a two-bolt anchor at the top of the pillar. 5.10.

Rap the route with one rope.
