Description Suggest change

A very steep wall that is home to many hanging icicles that touch down in good conditions... When this area is in it rules... A really warm day could ruin it so if you see the climb you want, get after it while its there...

The climbing here ranges from WI4+ to WI6... All of the routes are short and steep... Recommendations are Clawcicle (4+/5), Scratching Post (4+), Without Reason(5+)... There is also a steep M8 for those who like the hard steep dry tooling...

This is a great and convenient place to drop a top rope just please let the routes come in well before top roping them as this is a sensitive place as far as forming ice is concerned...

Getting There Suggest change

Hanging Gardens is located 100 feet or so to the right of Dracula... You can check it out on the hike down the gully after doing any of the routes near Dracula...
