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
Originally aided (C1) out the roof using thin gear to rap anchors. This roof has repelled some strong climbers' free attempts (most notoriously those of Hidetaka Suzuki, who put up a 13d seam at Jtree on gear). Ultimately climbed free by tom Moulin.
Location
Approach as for Panty Wall. You'll se the roof from the parking lot. Once at the wall don't go up the gully on the left, it works but it's very shitty. Instead, follow Pantry wall along to climber's right onto a rising ramp, then follow cairns and switch back up the rock, trending north toward the roof.
