Ascents in The Hanging Gardens having Beta

Different kind of traversey climb, fun

Climb straight up through the leaves, the tree close to the base of the climb has grown and the branches hang down onto the route

Sharp with nothing interesting

Exciting exposure over hanging rock

Bottom of the route was pretty wet as it passed through a channel where the water ran through. The middle proved a little tricky with the wet rock but the upper half was a quick scramble to the anchor.

Big footholds got me easily through the very wet and slippery bottom section, there was an elusive hold in the middle crux that was a long reach away but easily power through once you find it.

Good, easy moves the whole way.

Good for lead practise! Well bolted. Harder to clean than to climb.

Nice little beginners climb

A fun diagonal climb. Hard to clean.

Fun little overhang. Had to dodge the wax bees.
