Description 

Further down the trail from the popular moderates, The Garden is a lesser-known but worthwhile 5.7. A short off-width section adds to the challenge.

Starting below an obvious crack system, follow the initial crack a short distance, then jog right to continue up the widening crack. Use good footwork to make short work of the flaring off-width, then easier crack climbing leads to the finish below the top of the cliff.

Location 

Starts about 60' right of Hungry for Heaven.

Protection 

Mostly medium gear (cams, tricams, hexes). Ring anchors at the top.
