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
At the far eastern end of The Rad Cliff is a dark buttress featuring knobby varnished rock. Start on an obvious ledge that is easily reached by a variety of class 4 or easy 5th class options. Climb on knobby rock with all natural pro for a long pitch. There are many options for the exact route, but they all seem to be of reasonably the same difficulty. In general it seems that farther to the left the rock is more solid but the holds are a little smaller. From the belay, you can climb down and right (class 4) to the catwalk leading to The Dementor rappel, or follow easy rock up to the top of the buttress and scramble down and left.
The "fright" in the route name refers to a terrifying section of precariously balanced, darkly varnished plates encountered on the first ascent. Subsequent disassembly of the threatening obstacle has left a fairly sound and aesthetic climb.
