HUMAN WASTE: Human waste is a major issue plaguing the area. The Southern Nevada Climbers Coalition (SNCC) works to provide "wag bags" free of charge in several locations: Black Velvet Canyon, The Hamlet, Kraft Mountain Area, 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 daily kit no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly. Do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas.
See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.
Description
The proper (but R rated) way to do predator is to start at the base of running man, and follow the horizontal crack out and left. Once you reach the end of this, and start trending upwards, you will pass a few bolts. Alpines are nice for clipping some of these bolts. Be sure to save a hand-size piece or two for after the bolts stop (about 30ft before the anchor).
A harder but arguably slightly less dangerous way to start predator is to climb the start of one of the three bolted lines underneath it. These climbs all involve hard 11 moves and are fairly run out, sometimes on old bolts. Tread lightly, have fun!
