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
The first pitch climbs up and left out of the recess to a big ledge on the crest. The next pitch goes up cracks, then to the right of a large fin. Belay beneath an obvious slot. Pitch 3 climbs the slot to a broken area above. Follow slabs and cracks for a few pitches until reaching a large pine tree. Easy climbing leads to the top of the buttress.
Descent: You can downclimb to the pine tree and rappel the route. Alternatively, scramble back to the main headwall and climb 2 or 3 easy but dirty piches to gain the east ridge. With good luck or routefinding you can hike down to the base of the East Face. With bad luck you may need a short rappel.

Location
Hike into the bottom of Deathtrap Canyon. Climb up the left hand slope and bear left along the base of the face to reach the major buttress on the left side of the main wall. The base of the buttress is split by a recess leading up to a huge overhang. Start near the left side of this recess.
