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
Good crag spot for easy routes. Mostly decent rock with a share of solid varnish and friable holds. All routes are 90' or less. Very traditional. No bolts or fixed gear, and all routes have walk off with 4th/5th class.Far away from the Ragged Edges crowds.
Getting There
Located up on the third tier of cliffs, between Nadia's nine and N Plus Ultra areas.(Approach starts the same as above mentioned area's). Start at Lost Creek parking lot and follow main trail approx. 100yds until sign at a fork. This is the split for the Icebox/red rock loop/smyc trail. Follow this for another few hundred yards to where the soil turns red. At this point your going up and right towards N Plus Ultra descent. Several options are present with 4th and 5th class. The scramble is well marked with cairns from hikers who frequent the area.
