Beautiful setting with beautiful quarzite rock. The routes range from face climbing to long, substained, overhanging climbs. Most of the routes are sport, but there are few trad lines that are worth doing. Stone Garden ranges in difficulty, with a few easier routes around 5.7 to 5.12/5.13
Getting There
The Stone Garden pull out is around 1.3 miles North from the large pull out for Ruth Lake. Look for a small pull out on the east side of the road. On the west side of the rode, there should be a cairn marking the start of a trail. From here it's a short ~10 minute hike to the climbing.
Underneath the huge overhang at the Stone Garden there is a ledge that can be reached by walking/scrambling up some loose dirt to the right of it. Once on the ledge there is a bolt that can be clipped. This marks the start of the route. Sessions follows the bolts that go furthest left of the climber. Sessions reminded me of climbing an upside down stair case. Very fun and substained climbing!...[more]
