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
Start on a huge cheater pile through crimpy terrain for the first couple of bolts. Fire through brutally crimpy crux sequences before reaching a huge jug rail below the last bolt. Figure out a way past the jug and continue straight up to through slopers on the slab to reach the chains. Great route for the grade range at Red Rocks, mega-classic and a must do! Originally graded 13b, broken holds have moved modern consensus to 13c.
There is also a variation that heads right somewhere around the 5th bolt, It Is What It Is (13d/14a FA Alex Honnold).
Location
In the center of the main wall, third route to the right of the Silence crack. There is usually a very large cheater pile for the start.
