Description 

Madison Square Garden is probably the best route on Garden Wall. MSG clocks in at a burly 5.6 and sports 3 or 4 bolts depending on how you climb the route. Head straight up to the small "overhang" about 25' up then work your way under it to the right. Clip all the bolts you run across. You can also go straight up over the small overhang for a variation called Look Ma, No Hands (5.6/5.7). Once you set up an anchor, top rope your own variations. Some nice views, no crowds, and a great place for beginners and beginning leaders.

Protection 

Three or four draws and slings to set up the anchor.
