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 route is fairly sustained at about 9- to solid 9 and definitely runout. I would suggest leading the full length of the rope until you get on easier ground near the top of the South Buttress.
Location
This route starts about 100 feet lower then the Redguard roof. From the Ramp at the bottom of the second half of the South Buttress (at the top of Touch N Go) follow the OW/ dihedral of the 3rd/4th pitches of Redguard. This route follows the lichen, rarely traveled slab to the left of Semi-Wild. There is a juniper tree on a small ledge if you look up from the start of the slab. Follow the slab just right of this tree. The route looks hard to pick out from the start but is easy route finding once you get started.
