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
Big holds, a good rest. Past a big scoop over a bulge to a small mantle.
Location
Just right of Friend and just left of Nightmare on crude street in the lower corridor, right side..
Find the shrubby tree in the center of the corridor.

[Hide Photo] Big jugs into some reachy bits at the crux. Super fun route, great rock
[Hide Photo] Don't be coy, skip the intermediate and launch for the hueco. Definitely adds a grade or two if you dyno for the send.

[Hide Comment] One of the nicest routes we climbed in the corridor. Really cool move pulling over the bulge on a crimp, slapping to a decent edge. Definitely get on it!

[Hide Comment] really enjoyed this route. i yoyo'ed it with my rope gun. i would say it's more difficult if you're short. i'm 5'3" and -2 and she's 5'0" and +1. neither of us were able to reach the crimper in the hueco coming from the left. i had to use the face crimp and quickly slap the hueco and tension up into it. loved the climb, felt like a v1/2 boulder problem in the middle of a climb. get on this!

[Hide Comment] Great climb. I used the intermediate as well, per the last comment. If you have a solid pinky lock on the right and move your feet up to properly balance it’s a static move.

[Hide Comment] The right mussy hook at the anchor is becoming worn out (see photo) and has been reported to the Southern Nevada Climbing Coalition as of 04/13/2021.

[Hide Comment] Honestly one of the most unique and fun climbs I have done so far (2 years of climbing). Great holds, big moves, then into a slabby static section with great rests between. My personal favorite was the right pull right after the 3rd clip is great into a very committing left hand jug, then again in a large committing right hand jug after that section. In that hole you can find a GREAT kneebar to rest for the technical slabby section above. MUST DO CLIMB!
