About Rock Gardens:
This place was discovered about 40 years ago and is the concentrated place for sport climbs that number well over 80 including the boulder gardens just 5 min down and to the left of the rock gardens. The place was retrofitted a few years ago and is a hassle free place if you need a break from trad or alpine in the area. Helmets are recomended as there is some loose rock. This is a very popular area and a good place to go early in the season or when its raining. |
