The Gardener

100 feet of overhanging quartzite. At least half of the moves are unique, and the remainder links up some of the best climbing on the wall. No additional bolts were required for this line, but expect it to be a bit more run out than the others. Climb the first 4 bolts of Depth of Field and then begin the leftward traverse which rises through juggy terrain to eventually reach The Benefactor'’s 3rd bolt. Traverse into Mellow Gold and charge through a long series of difficult moves taking you to a good rest at The Bridge'’s 5th bolt, then merge to the crux of Pitbulls for the finish. You can lower to the ground with a 60m rope.

15 bolts plus anchors.

Long (24” inch) runners are recommended on some bolts near the end to prevent rope drag. However, skipping Mellow Gold’'s 3rd bolt and the The Bridge'’s 4th bolt eliminates the need for long runners on the route.
