Red Devil is a climbing area on city land in Colorado, about 0.1 mile from the Central and Finger Flatiron climbing areas. It sits in a cluster of bouldering and climbing spots with trails and paddling nearby, making it an easy addition to a longer day on the rock. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boulder, at a lower elevation, run around 71°F highs in May and 79°F in September. Expect cooler temperatures at Red Devil. Mallory Cave Trail and Mesa Trail are both about 0.3 mile away, and Boulder Creek offers canoeing about 2.7 miles off. For an overnight stay, Winiger Ridge campground is roughly 4.7 miles away.
