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

Duran was a boxer widely remembered for the famous words, "no moss," or something phonetically similar. Climb discontinuous cracks in the broken corner system immediately to the right of Stirling Moss. A fingertip lieback halfway up is the crux. To descend, scramble down and right to the rappel anchor on Hundred-Foot Stick Clip.

Bill Thiry and I subsequently added a nice continuation to this route. From the top of the first pitch, follow easy rock up and right to a short 5.5 squeeze chimney. Climb the chimney and exit right to a big belay ledge in the giant corner/gully. Pleasant climbing up the corner leads to another squeeze chimney and the top. Scramble left to the standard descent.
