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
Flower Quarter starts just left of Shadow, pulling through a small 2-foot roof on its left side. Look for a large right-facing low angle dihedral up about fifty feet that ends at two large trees.
Start directly below those two trees and wander up easy but loose slab to a ledge about 15 feet up. Continue up fractured face with cracks for pro, then up to the roof. Pull it on its left side (hard for 5.6) and try not to dislodge your best handholds!
Continue 50 feet up the right-facing dihedral through pine needles, dirt, and loose rocks, with a lichen covered face for friction. Belay at the two large trees, then traverse off left to reach the Redguarden West face main trail.
