Description 

Ripple Wall is a 125 foot cliff on the east side of the Red Rocks Canyon Open Space. It's made entirely of sandstone, and has about 11 well-routed sport climbs. The belay can stand just off the trail on almost all of the routes. While it's rarely windy in Red Rocks Canyon, rain does make the sand stone gritty, so just be aware. Being the eastern face, there is a lot of sun after noon; however on good, cooler days, it is awesome climbing.


Getting There 

Follow the main trail going through Red Rocks; Ripple wall lies just south of Sayer's Wall.
