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
Waiting in line for GRB? You brought all your quickdraws/alpine-draws right? This climb will warm ya up. First pitch is sport-bolted with quick-clip anchors. Pitches 2 and 3 feature larger spacing on the easier terrain. Linking pitches, if you must, will incur rope drag for days.
Pitch 1, 5.10a: Follow the bolts up the beautiful chocolatey corner to an anchor on a nice ledge. 40', 5 bolts with quick-clips. Crux move around bolt 4.
Pitch 2, 5.9: Follow bolts mostly straight up the low-angle wall through two steep sections: A slight overhang, and a vertical headwall just below the anchors on another nice ledge. (The rock right below the mantle to the anchor ledge is soft, climb carefully.) 130', 13 bolts.
Pitch 3, 5.8: Follow the bolts climbing the nose-bridge right between the huge, hueco-eyesockets. Anchors are at the top of the formation. 80', 6 bolts.
Descent: Use the walkoff for GRB. You can rappel the route with a 70m rope (70m is mandatory) if you have to, but just walk off.
