BETA PHOTO: Garden Wall is all about low angle slab climbing. ...


Description 

We only climbed here because it was a goal of my partner and mine to do every section in the Slater book. It was a major disappointment. Slabby routes that are a bit tremulous, but not too exciting. Yeah, yeah, slab isn't exciting when it's got a low rating, but trust me, not exciting.


Protection 

4 bolts plus two anchor bolts on top

[ed. note: 7/04 - two 5/16” buttonheads replaced with two 1/2” SS Rawl bolts. Bolts went back in original holes.]

I definitely wouldn't say this is a "bomb". I'd give it a least 1 star. OK, maybe 1/2 a star. Garden Wall is a great place to take beginners & has at least one good lead and a couple of interesting top ropes. It's also a good place to go to get way up high w/out doing any serious climbing. I wouldn't say this is a spot you'd visit more than a few times, but you should at least check it out. Besides, if everyone stops climbing here, the lichen will grow back then it really will suck!
