Hanging Garden sort of...hangs above the ground, which makes pulling on a little tricky. Stacking some pads helps. Start with your right hand on a thin sidepull and your left hand on a pinch on the arete. To get my feet high enough to start climbing, I pushed off of the boulder that is underneath and to the left; this allows me to get my right foot smeared onto the actual problem. Once on, I release the left foot and begin.

The first move is the hardest, you have to pretty accurately grab a thin/sharp crimp with your right hand. The rest of the moves aren't too bad, but the last move requires some confidence. Your position feels a bit airy, so having a spotter and some pads would be wise. To finish, after matching the jug crack, I climbed onto the boulder to the left and continued till I was able to downclimb, which I thought was fun.

I am not sure about the grade, as I'm the only one to have climbed it, but I'd imagine it's between V4-6. If anyone sees this and wants more beta/location info, reach out.

Dino’s Dyno

One Punch Human

Tree House

Start low, establishing on decent holds. Do a one move wonder up and right to the obvious pebble, and top out.

Dino’s Dyno is one of, if not the coolest, pure dyno boulder problem in the Boulder area. Start standing under the trail on a left hand, weird sloper and right hand undercling or sidepull. Pull on with difficulty, and with some awkward feet, punch 4 feet to a perfect pair of comfy edges, the right hand being better. Some do this move with 1 hand, some with 2, either way it’s hard, and avoiding a dab can be problematic. The second move is either another massive dyno to a left sloper jug which is said to be easier than the first, but it felt much harder. It’s a style thing I guess. It’s possible to work around right then back left using some horrible holds, which avoids the dyno but isn’t any easier. Top out carefully. Satisfying movement and a few sweet moves make this a perfect choice for the V12 power climber.

Treehouse is fun, flowy, and has a great view into Bear Canyon. Begin at the far left of the boulder (before it drops down towards

Hanging Garden

), and start sitting down with a left hand edge in a little corner and your right hand on another down-pulling edge. I do two hand movements before reaching a left handed jug. From here, you reach out right to a vertical crack, match it, and then go up to jugs.

It's about 10-12 feet to the lip, but I think it's fun to climb the slab all the way to the top of the boulder...just be careful. To get down, I hop off near the jugs at the lip.

If I am wrong about getting the first ascent, please reach out, and I'll update.
