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 mostly shady and protected. The approach is quick and mellow. There are lots of awesome climbs on the adjacent crags for all levels of climbers. Boulders below Tiki Cliff make a great patio high in the mouth of the Maze, looking across at Frigid Air Buttress. From routes on Frigid Air, Tiki can be identified by the sarcophagus shaped, Pharaoh Flake.
Getting There
Approach as for the Necromancer. After crossing the wash, head uphill toward the wall. About halfway up you will come to a few larger pines, watch for a trail cutting right. There are several goat paths to follow, and a main path with clipped yucca tips. Continue up and right until you reach the boulder platform just right of the Tiki nose. **This is also the best approach to the Cauldron Wall**
