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 route may be your dream or fantasy but hold on tight (literally) and find out. Highly recommend stick clipping if you are projecting around the low 11 mark. Getting to the first bolt can be tricky and requires good foot work and a sidepull that doesn’t feel good until you get to the side of it. Then the crux happens right after the bolt and going for a crimp rail and then to another forcing the 2nd clip. There’s a reason the bolt was placed high on this one, so you didn’t have to work around the rope. Get through the main crux and now run the slab portion up to the next wall section and work your way through the last challenge. Careful not to Z clip the 2 bolts when on the second wall. Once again, they were placed to ensure people didn’t deck if a hold broke. Work your way through the sharp holds and the anchors are just above. *This route does not endorse Gri-gri in any way or form*
Location
About 30 ft to the left of Bolt Climb Rock and Fall and Climbing on Broken Choss. Has a high first bolt. On top of a rock sticking out of the ground and the 2nd bolt is right above a “blank” section in the rock.
