Hanging Garden

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
