Redgarden Wall

What's here
5.4 to 5.14, mostly around 5.11.
Counted from the 324 climbs here that carry a grade. Shown only where there are at least 5 of them — below that the shape is noise.
How well located
Position on wall known 324
No route here has its own point yet. The map pin is the crag. At the wall? Survey it: 30 seconds per route.
The order of the climbs along this wall is known from the open catalogue, so a few surveys go a long way: standing at Dirty Deed, The Yellow Spur, Mickey Mouse Nailup, Exit Stage Left, Phallus In Suck-It-Land, Reaper, Eleven (7 climbs, about 210 seconds on Redgarden - Tower One) would place up to 58 more climbs between them. Survey the wall →
“Up to” because the estimate between two surveyed routes is only used when they turn out to be close enough together on the ground.

Rock, from the geologic map
Fountain Formation. Paleozoic, about 320 to 295 million years old.
Reddish-brown arkosic conglomerate and pebbly sandstone containing thin layers of dark reddish-brown shales. Forms red spines and monuments at Red Rocks and Roxborough Parks and flatirons west and southwest of Boulder. Thickness 512 to 610 m.
This is the map unit under this crag's map point, read from the 1:100,000 sheet (Trimble and others, 2003, U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Investigations Series I-856-H). The point can be a few hundred metres from the rock, a cliff often stands on the line between two units, and at that scale a line on the map is about 100 m wide on the ground, so the wall itself may be the neighbouring unit. The rock named at the top of this page comes from the public geology of this area; this card is the map's answer. Every crag on this unit: Fountain Formation. Geology data: Macrostrat (CC BY 4.0), serving USGS and Colorado Geological Survey maps.

Distances are a straight line from this crag's map point, which can itself be hundreds of metres off; a road may be much longer. Mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), so a toilet missing here may simply be unmapped. Parking here is what OSM has drawn nearby, not a guidebook's directions.
