To protect nesting and roosting sites of falcons, Redgarden Wall from the Naked Edge (pitch 3 – top) through Sidetrack is closed from February 1st – July 31st or until further notice. Occasionally, these closures are lifted earlier.
This includes the following routes: • The Naked Edge (last 3 pitches only) • The Diving Board • Centaur • Redguard (last three pitches) • Semi-Wild • Anthill Direct (last three pitches) • The Sidetrack
This climb is on [Redgarden Wall], on the West side trail just [uphill] from [Mr] Natural, which is before the wooden stairs.
The [route] climbs up the closed-book dihedral/chimney just 12' left of [Mr] Natural. It ascends about 40' to the rap tree on Mr. Natural. Why bother though? I was there, I read what the book said (don't waste your time) but I was heading in and tried the line anywhere.
This was not the worst climb I have done in Eldo- but if it had been 200' feet of this same garbage, it would have come close to Cardinal Richelieu for that title.
Protection
Who cares- it's bad rock and not worth doing anyway. I guess a light rack or TR from Mr Natural.
