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
An alternate start to The Itsy Bitsy Spider. Higher quality rock would make this a fun pitch, but until a bunch of folks climb this while it’s wet (please, be our guest to do so…), this piece of stone is best to avoided.
Climb cracks and corners past ledges. Eventually trend right to join The Itsy Bitsy Spider below its roof pitch. From here, either continue on The Itsy Bitsy Spider, or downlead ~50’ climber’s right (5.7) to a bolted anchor on a ledge just past a tree.
