You walk across private land to enter this area. The landowner has been tolerant so long as we don't disturb his land or his cattle. To keep a good relationship with him it is extremely important that climbers don't mess with grazing cattle, and that ALL GATES STAY AS THEY ARE FOUND. Also, the large gate on the north side of the parking area MUST NOT BE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY; the rancher regularly uses this gate as he drives a truck pulling a large trailer, so the road leading to said gate MUST STAY CLEAR by least 40 feet on all sides, including the road perpendicular to it (running east-west). If the parking area is full, drive past the bridge and park on the next pullout (not far), and NEVER BY THE GATE.
Please be respectful and keep this access open to climbers. Use posted photos for this area to familiarize yourself with where parking is and is not allowed. Access to all gates must remain available to a truck and trailer. Parking in any way that restricts access to the gates north of the highway will jeopardize access for climbing.

Description
The Constant Gardener is a short and wonderfully engaging slab with two crux sections - one just above bolt three and the second right before the chains.
Begin with a left facing layback flake and then use some pockets and juggy features to pull onto the slab proper. Decipher a fun little problem with some good feet and sparse chert features before cruising your way to the final difficulties near the chain.
Once this climb has had a few dozen laps on it and the lichen fuzz is fully gone it will be a real treat.
