Description

The Hanging Garden is a previously forgotten cliff halfway between the Lowers and the Main face. It was developed in the 90’s by Michael Crowder and then fallen into obscurity since then. The Hanging Garden is appropriately named as it lies directly below the main flow of water off the Main face. As such this cliff sees a lot of water flow and stays wet for several days after a good rain

However the climbing here is better than you might think and it dries faster than you might think as well. All of the climbs are generally on lines that dry the fastest. The left most climbs dry first so start there. Many of the climbs that were wet in the morning will be dry in the afternoon.

The climbs in this area are all relatively easy/moderate and well protected. You will need to bring gear to keep it well protected but you could also “Sport” climb it and just accept the long run out on 5.easy terrain at the tops

Getting There

From the Lowers – Walk up the left side of the Lowers like you were going to set up a TR, but instead just keep walking left until the cliff line peters out. Then rock hop straight up about 300 vertical feet to the base of the Hanging Garden

From the Main Face – From the cable climbs head directly down hill following the path of least resistance. The Hanging Garden is directly underneath so you will need to traverse left or right around the cliff band
