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
Striptease is a fantastic pitch that scales a gently overhanging panel of cracked varnish on the right side of the Winter Heat Wall.
Begin at the top of the ramp on a finger crack shared with High Class Ho. Some gear will get you to the first bolt, then pull the roof and prepare thyself for battle - a building pump leads to the top of the wall. The anchor is set back from the edge (cordelette useful?) and although the business end of this rig sports 8 bolts you may wish for a small cam to protect the cruxy moves between bolts one and two.
Great climbing that is only docked a star because of a few brittle holds.
