Blue- Fingers Of Death (behind block) Green- Short...
Description
Climbing similar to Liberty Cap (on same cliff band). Many quality crack climbs of various grades available. Around 10-15 climbs.
Getting There
Drive west out of Grand Junction on Broadway (CO Highway 340) into the Redlands. Drive approximately 3 miles turning left (south) onto Redlands Parkway. After 0.5 mile the road curves right (east) and becomes South Broadway at South Camp Road. Continue west on South Broadway until it makes a left hand turn (past the Tiara Rado Golf Course, the road weaves and turns for a while). Go down S. Broadway then take a left on Tiara Dr. Follow the road until it weaves close to cliff band. Park in front of drainage beside a 15 Ft long cement curb. Hike Drainage until you go under fence/iron bars. Walk until you intersect a trail and take a right. Follow until there is a weakness/gully of rotten Granite. Walk up that and the cliffs will be on the right hand of the U-shaped/ bowl of sandstone wall.
The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Tiara Rado:
A great varied hand crack. Starts off in a corner then goes to Karate chopping hands until the end where it flares and gets big to the chains....[more]Browse More Classics in CO
Approach takes about 15-20 minutes. It's really short, like under a mile, but very steep.
Also, once you cross the fence you want to follow the trail right until you are under a bit of the hill that is less steep than surrounding areas. This is just past the obvious large drainage. From here you follow a faint game/climbers trail up the hill and into a a small drainage. Sometimes the start of the trail has cairns, sometimes not.
