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

Start in the corridor formed by the base-ledge separating from the wall, directly behind the small pine tree. Stem/chimney up 10' out of the corridor and get established on the face at the first glue-in bolt. Thin/delicate climbing gets you to some jugs at the first mechanical bolt. This is the original first bolt on the route. (Mark bolted this route Ground Up and all original mechanical bolts were preserved if you want the OG experience.) With Mark's blessing this route was updated with more bolts (glue-ins) for us mortal leaders. Follow the bolts trending rightward through a varnish patch and a bulge to lower angle climbing just below the anchor (shared with Dangling Participles). A second pitch climbs to an anchor on a ledge/cave just below the top.

Pitch 1: 5.8+, 105', 12b, chain anchor with small ledge.

Pitch 2: 5.7, 60', 7b, chain anchor at the top.

Descent: Rappel or use GRB walkoff.
