Redgarden Wall, Le Void, Eldorado Canyon. Le Void, a spectacular and long-standing aid climb, was done all-free late this August. The ascent involved substantial difficulties, most notably the previously freed 5.11 section and a leaning hand crack containing a chimney swift which flew out of the crack as the leader passed. Higher, subtle nutcraft is employed to protect a new 5.11 section which leads to an eight-foot roof of moderate difficulty. Despite its severity, the route seems destined to become a classic.
