Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when wet.
Details
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
This route climbs the left-most of the two left-leaning cracks on the left side of the Dome. Start in the corridor at the base of the wall below the crack. Climb up to a bolt and along the crack passing another bolt along the way. At the end of the crack head up and right following good holds and seams (passing a bolt), aiming for a crack in the dark-varnish bulge above (bolt). Surmount the bulge to an optional belay on a ledge, or continue another 40' to belay near a bush. There are many options for gear around this bush.
A final pitch climbs the easy left-facing corner crack (5.5, 50-60') to the top.
As of summer 2023, all bolts were replaced with glueins.
Descent: Walk off to the right/southeast to the boulder field approach for Great Red Book area. From the top, walk across a flat area to a shallow gully (50') and scramble down to another flat area (50'), then ~150' to the GRB approach. Scramble/hike down through the boulder field and back to the base of the Dome.
