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
This is an excellent crack climb, one of my favorite routes on the wall. Located in the middle of the buttress to the right of Ground Rule Seven (between Echolalia and Fleeting Boldness), it ascends a prominent finger to hand crack system in excellent dark varnish. The crux is a bulge near the top and may feel a tad burly for 5.8, but it protects well enough.
You can build a gear anchor directly above the finish, or you could go left ten feet and belay from the rappel anchor. Consider bringing extra webbing in case the cord for the rappel anchor is worn.
