Narrative:

Departing las on non-filed oasys 2 departure, I failed to note 7000 ft restr at 7 DME on the las VOR 211 degree radial. I briefed the PF according to my misunderstanding, ie, that we were climbing as cleared to 17000 ft unrestr. I concentrated on directing the PF to make the steepest possible climb gradient to stay above the wake of an MD80 that departed same runway 45 seconds in front of us. The PF did a superb job of following my erroneous directions. As we were vectored to begin a turn northwest and switch to center frequency, I noticed and informed ZLA that we were 'out of 8200 ft for 17000 ft.' at that point, glancing at the SID depiction (government chart), I saw the 7000 ft crossing restr for the first time. Future action: read the whole SID with great care.

Title: CPR CAPT TELLS FO FLYING TO CLB UNRESTR TO 17000 FT ON LAS SID. AFTER CHANGING FROM TRACON TO ARTCC, CAPT SEES MISSED SID XING RESTR AND ADVISES FO OF ERROR.

Narrative: DEPARTING LAS ON NON-FILED OASYS 2 DEP, I FAILED TO NOTE 7000 FT RESTR AT 7 DME ON THE LAS VOR 211 DEG RADIAL. I BRIEFED THE PF ACCORDING TO MY MISUNDERSTANDING, IE, THAT WE WERE CLBING AS CLRED TO 17000 FT UNRESTR. I CONCENTRATED ON DIRECTING THE PF TO MAKE THE STEEPEST POSSIBLE CLB GRADIENT TO STAY ABOVE THE WAKE OF AN MD80 THAT DEPARTED SAME RWY 45 SECONDS IN FRONT OF US. THE PF DID A SUPERB JOB OF FOLLOWING MY ERRONEOUS DIRECTIONS. AS WE WERE VECTORED TO BEGIN A TURN NW AND SWITCH TO CTR FREQ, I NOTICED AND INFORMED ZLA THAT WE WERE 'OUT OF 8200 FT FOR 17000 FT.' AT THAT POINT, GLANCING AT THE SID DEPICTION (GOV CHART), I SAW THE 7000 FT XING RESTR FOR THE FIRST TIME. FUTURE ACTION: READ THE WHOLE SID WITH GREAT CARE.
