Some of the major formations on the north side of Eldorado Canyon.

Stitch of several photos from the top of the West Ridge, graphics inspired by Cloudveil catalog.

Basic view from the road of the south faces of Redgarden with climbers on P3 of Rosy Crucifixion, P1 anchors of Fire and Ice, and P1 anchors of T2.

The right side of Redgarden Wall. The South Buttress has classic climbs like Anthill Direct.<br>
<br>
Tower Two is home to the Naked Edge, T2, and many other classic routes.

Getting up and down moderate routes to and from Red Ledge.

Getting down from the top of Green Spur, Redgarden Wall, Eldorado Canyon State Park.

Upper Ramp rappel route. From the base of Chockstone Chimney, hike up to the right side of the slab by a tree, then downclimb the slab to a ledge. Traverse left on the ledge to a bolted rappel anchor. <high>This anchor was installed on August 21, 2006 to replace the anchor on the wobbling tree.</high> Rappel 65' to a stance with bolts and chains.<br>
<br>
A second 95' rappel takes you to Vertigo Ledge. Follow Vertigo Ledge until it intersects the West Face trail.

<em>Tradescantia occidentalis</em> (western spiderwort).

East Slabs descent beta.

Behold, the circus that is Redgarden on a crowded Sunday afternoon! (See if you can find yourself in this mess)

Traverse in from climber's left to avoid using the tree to downclimb.<br>

The rope pull is clean with little friction. The rope only contacts the rock at the edge of the dropoff (where this photo was taken).<br>

The old tree anchor is just to the right.
