Beginning Feb. 1st each year, a seasonal wildlife closure will be in effect on Redgarden Wall in Eldorado Canyon State Park to protect nesting and roosting sites of the canyons falcons. The closure is in effect through July 31st unless lifted early due to early fledging or inactivity.

Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.

Description
This is an interesting route with a considerable amount of adventure for a "mere 5.8." Start on an unconventional start, climbing a tree, which is mostly stripped of the branches you'd like to have. Sling a few branches with girth-hitched slings for protection. As you near the rock, a small cam placement and then a fist-sized piece present themselves just before pulling onto the rock, while tip-toeing from the treetop onto the rock. This is probably the crux. One can head sharply left from there to a stance as a small evergreen and belay on gear, or continue onward (continue...). Climb up on mostly good, incut holds with occasional gear and long slings to keep the rope direct and drag low. You should be below a hanging, right-facing corner. Climb up into this and through it.
Upon finishing the right-facing corner, you can traverse hard left (West) for 50+ feet on a jumbled ledge to a belay on a tree near a 2-rope rap (160') over Apple Strudel/The Untouchables.
A solid belay on the ledge at a tree just before that rap can be reached from the ground on a 70m rope, but the rope will not get you to the ground. 5.1 climbing behind that tree and left will take you to the Dirt Deed raps, where a single 70m will get you just to the ground, or where a short rope will get you there in 2 raps.
If you wanted to keep going above the dihedral, you can continue (with a 70m) up and right as for the final pitch of Rocky Raccoon. This splits up and right at the top to intersect the top of the upper ramp (and Vertigo raps) or up and left to the Red Ledge, escaping via a finish on a route above (Yellow Spur or Icarus, etc...) or down and left to the raps on the Dirty Deed Chminey.

Location
This route starts as for Rocky Raccoon and branches left from that route where the tree meets the wall and climbs up and left to a stance an optional belay from there before continuing up and below a large, hanging, right-facing dihedral, and through that to a rotten band (another optional belay).
From that area, head up and right to the top of the upper ramp (left edge) or right edge of the Red Ledge.
