Late on March 4, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, Rocky Mountain Fire Authority and Rocky Mountain Rescue responded to a report that two climbers were stuck on the Red Garden Wall in Eldorado Canyon State Park.
According to a press release from the sheriff’s office, a 23-year-old male and his friend began to rappel the Red Guard climb at around 7 p.m. At about 7:15 p.m., they quickly realized they had descended in the wrong spot and were stuck. They called two friends who attempted to help them, but after several hours they called 911.
Rocky Mountain Rescue performed a technical rescue and evacuated the two climbers without incident or injury.
