Peak Mountain 3

Garden, The

Description

[Edit]

This secluded section of Hunter's is probably closest to the Oaks area, but is distinct. From the Powercut follow the trail north along the spine of the ridge until it dips to the West side of the ridge at a saddle point. The garden has many horizontal or very nearly so roofs. It gets afternoon and evening sun and takes a little longer than other areas to fully dry out. If you're planning on spending some significant time climbing here, be prepared to clean boulders. If cleaning new or existing routes please only remove as much moss or lichen as is needed for the climb and leave the rest undisturbed. Do your best not to trample the fern gardens on top of some of the boulders when you top out. There is extensive potential for new routes and FA's but be careful where you choose, there is a suspected porcupine den not far out of the main garden area.

If you're exploring the Upper Garden (up the hill above the obvious overhanging stuff) be wary of cave entrances covered in leaves, very nearly stepped right into one while looking around.
