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).

Access Issue: NO BOLTING ALLOWED - Wilderness Study Area
Details
No bolting is currently allowed at this area or any of the surrounding limestone cliffs. There is currently a proposed amendment to the land management plan that would allow bolting, but it has not yet been approved.
Description
This is a fun route that is a bit tricky to read - probably due to lack of traffic. The climb takes the leftmost line of bolts off the ramp to an anchor in the highest roof. Begin by scrambling up the ramp via the fixed line and have your belayer perch on the first level spot you come to - perhaps best to have him/her clip in to the lone cold-shut bolt for safety. Either stick clip the first bolt and climb directly up, or traverse in from the right clipping an off-route bolt then back-cleaning once the first bolt is clipped. Some steep pulls lead to a reachy move left to a hidden jug. Work up and left to a rest, then move back right past some tricky moves and a few nice drip features and pockets.
