The parking lot off Hwy 41G used to be the established point of access to the main canyon, but it is now closed. On 5/31/2020, an access issue arose due to the lot being overcrowded with ~7 vehicles. Saguache County Sheriff was called by the landowners, and the climbers were asked to leave the canyon. Climbers should park at the Penitente Main Canyon and hike in, or park at the established BLM parking lot 1 mile West on 41G and hike the road.
The SLV Climbers Alliance, with support from the Access Fund, is navigating this access issue. Contact slvclimb.org for questions or status reports, or join the Facebook Group "San Luis Valley Climbers Alliance" for the latest updates.
Description
There is a hard move past the 1st bolt, then it is still sustained, thin edging/slabbing to the anchors.
Location
About 150 feet left of where the trail hits the garden and just before the trail breaks left to the Jugalicious/Copasetic area (50 feet left of Just Do It with big glue-in bolts). Hanging Garden is the center route on a clean looking face (right route is a 12; left is a single bolt/Leeper hanger horror show....
Protection
4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
Per Wes O'Rourke: the original equipment was replaced by the San Luis Valley Climbers Alliance with new ASCA bolts and Mussy hook anchors as of 2019.
