BETA PHOTO: The main routes on Indian Garden East's east face.

Description 

These boulders are so named because of the wild corn that grows here. There are two main boulders here, one of which offers about seven problems and the other which really only offers one viable problem. The rock is pretty good on the east boulder and not so good on the west. The problems themselves are generally pretty easy but make use of fun crimps and small pockets. As previously mentioned, there are eight or nine problems, but I will list only the best. The beta photos show some of the others.

It is likely that these two boulders have been climbed before. If anybody wants to submit first ascent info or other names, I would be happy to change them. We climbed/named these in January 2011, so anything that predates that....

Getting There 

From the notch in the cliffband (see main area description), turn west and follow the creekbed upstream for about 0.1 mile. These two boulders are right on the creekbed, you won't miss them.
