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
This cliff is a perfect spot to climb on warmer days, as it remains in the shade all day long. The seven routes that are located at this crag range from a reachy 5.8 to a solid 5.11. All of the routes are enjoyable, and it makes for a fun day to climb all of them (or as many as you can) in one day.
Getting There
Follow the Calico Tanks trail from the parking lot. This will take you behind Calico Mt. As you begin to climb in elevation up the wash, you will go up several staircases that have been created. MPW is the large light-colored sandstone formation a hundred yards up the hillside on the left (north) before you reach the top of the wash trail. Veer left and follow the trail to the base of the cliff.
