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
A sustained pitch of thin face climbing up a vertical-to-gently overhanging wall in an intimidating location. At first I thought it was just too hard, too crimpy, too fragile, too scary, too difficult to get to… but in the end Like Tears in Rain is undeniably good.
So don the technician’s mantle, bring your crimper-crimpers, and summon some bravery... oh and one more thing: Wear kid gloves. This route has numerous thin, delicate holds. Feel free to dock it stars if you’re not cool with that, or better yet just stay away. But if you don’t climb like a bull in a china shop, maybe this route is for you.
Location
Finishing at Blade Runner’s dedicated rap anchor (draws can be hung while rapping from that route), Like Tears in Rain starts from the notch between the main wall and the little tower where Unimpeachable Groping tops out. It can be climbed directly after doing Unimpeachable or Ginger Cracks - just be careful getting to the first bolt.
