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
Our Father is an absolutely fantastic climb that goes up the right side of the Wholesome Fullback pinnacle.
Begin just right of the Delicate Sound of Thunder at a shallow left-facing, left-leaning corner.
P1: Climb the corner at 5.7+ to a tree. Belay or easily link with P2.
P2: Continue up the runout face above, generally trending left, past one bolt. Ignore the old hangers off the the right. 5.9+ serious.
P3: Climb the obvious, beautiful right-facing corner to a two-bolt anchor at the top of the pillar. 5.10.
Rap the route with one rope.
