Temporary Access Impediment MORE INFO >>> The city of Redcliff was upgrading their sewer system and has signs prohibiting the usual parking and hiking for Gilman. Also parking above, Frontage Road shoulder, is off limits. The wastewater treatment plant is finished, but it is illegal to park at the pullout, and the sheriff does do a drive by every day. One can park along the road in a few places, but be aware of rockfall from above. The best parking is at the Klettergarden. Also, the railroad tracks and the crags close to the tracks are owned by the railroad (go figure), and the crags further uphill from the tracks are owned by Ginn. It is all private property, but access has not been a problem, yet!!!!! This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Great dihedral.

Description 

Numerous individual crags spring up above the Eagle River and beside the RR tracks. None of the crags has been named, so they have been identified by the climbing routes. For this reason, it is important to get a good idea of the location of route number 1. This line is on an independent rock on the right 100 or so feet before the tracks split. This is an arete with three bolts that is un-named. The second route is on an independent rock just after the tracks split and it runs on gear through a roof (Monkey Roof, 5.11b).

Getting There 

The crags are scattered along side of the rr tracks with most development on the right. Start looking before the tracks split.
