Eldorado Canyon - Redgarden Wall

One of the finest and most storied climbing venues in the world, Eldorado Canyon offers heady and technical trad climbing, wild adventures just a stone throw away from Boulder.

 

With over 1,000 routes just on the two main cliffs of Redgarden Wall and the West Ridge, drawing every single one of them on a single image would unfortunately be completely illegible. This poster is an attempt at drawing the most important ones visible from the top of Upper Peanuts (most notably hidden from view are Rainbow Wall, the Bulge Wall and the north face of the Bastille), a total of 171 lines.
