Top of Redgarden Wall 1976 shooting up

Top of Redgarden Wall   1976 shooting up

This is the picture to go with Top of Redgarden wall. I was alone in the canyon so hired a guide for the day since I had never been to Eldo before. Anyone know who that is? October 1976

A humble crag rat of the rock? I'm clueless as to the name.

Big clues. He climbed some incredible routes in Germany as well as the East Coast and Eldorado. He is mentioned extensively in the book Climb.

I don't know, but of subject (as is customary on this site) is he bringing you up with a HIP BELAY? It looks like a hip belay to me. *shiver*

Yup, its a hip belay and no pro there either (notice just nuts on the rack). Absolutely no issues for me on that. We did Hair City, Touch n Go, Grand Giraffe and Yellow Spur that day.

OK, let the old guy sign in here. It's Not: Kor, Forrest, Dalke,Gill,Briggs, Erickson or Duncan Ferguson. It's Stevie Wunsch! OK, I cheated. Checked out pg.220 photo in Climb! hardcover first edition to be positive.

You're right. Now he is a gazillionaire trading on wall street I think. I have the same book btw and the Erickson pocket guidebook High Over Boulder from 1984.

woodchuck07 says:

Yup. Got the same little pocket books, one for Boulder and the small Eldorado canyon one. But mine gotta be from before 84 cuz I was already there before that with them books.
