Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when wet.
Details
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
Pagan Sacrifice takes a direct line up the “wind god tower”. It shares the first 6 pitches with gift of the wind gods to where that route traverses right. The line is aesthetic and the climbing is good, the bolting seems a bit botched making the route confusingly runout at times. Worth doing if you want more adventure than gift was dishing or if the line particularly calls to you.
P1-6 Follow gift of the wind gods to the belay at the base of the 10d traverse pitch. You can link 5-6, and would not be able to link 6 into 7.
P7 180’ 5.11 (or 5.9 A0) From the belay, downclimb left to the first of two bolts. The crux is a boulder problem above the second bolt. The rock here is super fragile and I could see someone ripping stuff off, while it wouldn’t change the grade much you could potentially hurt someone on gift. There is an ancient sling here that I’m guessing was put in place to assist in aiding. After the roof, climb a face slightly left to a bolt, then back right to a seam, follow this to a comfy ledge and wonder why the belay bolts aren’t here. Continue up the face to the right with 2 more bolts and a runout to a hanging belay on 2 bolts.
P8 190’ 5.9 climb the face straight up to a bolt, then traverse on easy but questionable rock to the left and up to another bolt. This is the last bolt on route. Trend back right to a crack, there was a fixed nut here. Climb the crack until it widens and becomes bushy, then the face to the right up to a belay stance below a flaring OW.
P9 170’ 5.8 climb the crack above past some bushes, then the obvious OW up to a sloping stance where you can see an obvious ledge with a tree on your right. Climb a funky flake reminiscent of the elephants trunk to this ledge.
From here you have two options, decent via the gift of the wind gods decent or continuing to the summit. To descend, traverse until you meet up with the massive treed ledge just below. To summit, follow your nose up blocky ground to the top.
