Never seen a shot of Red Cliff.

Ryan, is that a doable route up Red Cliff Mountain. Looks a bit loose but I really can't determine that for sure. What do you think?

	Hasn't voted	I know it is a doable route because the day Kirk and I climbed Coxcomb, a couple climbed Redcliff that exact way. I believe that Kirk has climbed Redcliff from that direction. I think Aaron is right though because it does look like a typical San Juan shifting pile of slag ascents

No problem!

Voted 10/10

The route up Redcliff is a fairly straight forward but steep Class 2 route. A short loose talus section just below the Redcliff/Coxcomb saddle is manageable. Posted the Redcliff page last fall that details this.

Good luck. I'd love to see someone else sign the Redcliff summit log!
