Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when wet.
Details
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 dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.
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
The steep wide crack with black varnish insides through a bulge. Wild and fun and a lot easier than it looks - but you better know what a chicken wing is!
Location
About 50 yds above Olive Oil, there's a bushy ledge that leads over to the Aquarium wall. Balsamic climbs the obvious crack, starting on hueco'd face up to a constriction, then up the gaping crack above. Once past the overhang, climb up the easy face to the right of the big chimney, belay on a ledge, then scramble up past a short easy 5th chimney to the rappel tree.
