B Garden

5.9+, Sport, 115 ft (35 m), 2 pitches,  Avg: 2.3 from 14 votes

Description

70M rope recommended. Feel free to climb this line as a single pitch if you're using a 70M rope or a double rope system.

P1: The first pitch of this tall line starts on a section of light colored rock, below the first tan colored bolt, then follows a slab of vertical edged formations, just left of Bee Hive. Follow the slab to the first small ledge and alcove, at the next section of light colored rock. A short climb up the right side of this feature gets you to the first rap anchors. 5.6, 50ft

P2: The second pitch starts from the belay anchors and heads strait up the vertical face. Passing pockets and vertical edged features, the crux is behind you when you arrive at the upper dihedral. A bolted rap anchor requires a 70M rope or a 50M easily gets you back to the top of the first pitch. 9+, 65ft

Note: Climbers, belayers and observers should wear a helmet at all times. Thank you for climbing safely and helping keep the routes clean of loose rocks.

Location

Start below the small lower roof, left of Bee Hive, and follow the slab to gain the first set of anchors. 

Protection

15 bolts to rap anchors

[Hide Comment] I'm not sure Brian but I took the "closed" off. Just be careful. May 23, 2021
[Hide Comment] On 2022 March 15, there was a major beehive on the second pitch. I bailed rather than bothering nature and risking stings. Mar 22, 2022

[Hide Comment] Beehive is still there, I went offroute to the right to go around it and traversed back in for the next clip. Maybe I missed some bolts, but it felt like there were less than 15 bolts on this route, with up to 12 feet between at some points. Lots of vegetation, a fair amount of loose rock, and the bolts were at best hard to find. Get on this one if you're looking for an "adventure" ;) Nov 21, 2022
