Start on some thin slab. The crux is getting to the first bolt and it gets progressively easier as you go. Run it out to the anchors or you can plug some gear along the way. Stick clip isn't a bad idea but not required.

Fun easier slabbing through 3 well protected bolts. Plug in some other gear (or not) as you run it out to the anchors on the left. Watch the water streaks

Start in the narrow clean dry streak. You’ll probably need to dabble some fingers into a wet patch to pull the crux but the feet should be dry. When you get on a ledge decide where you’re going from there. Finish way left on the Begonia anchor, head further up the cliff right on the Fuchsia anchor or go straight up into the jungle and find a tree. If you finish on the Fuchsia anchor be mindful of the rope lengthI have no idea what the actual name of this route is so I just started picking names of hanging plants. 

Start in the obvious cleared streak in the moss. Clip the first bolt and then just start plugging and chugging gear the rest of the way up. This line is one of the first to dry enough to climb in this part of the cliff. When dry this would be a good first trad lead as the gear is plentifulI have no idea what the actual name of this route is so I just started picking names of hanging plants.

2 men on a slab with wire brushes?Start at the base of the large tree. Choose whether you are going for the pocket or the crystal and pull the crux right off the ground. Continue straight up the whiter face. Above the overlap trend right around the foliage up to the Fuchsia anchor. Watch the water streaks. Stick clip recommended but not required.Amazingly MC hadn't done this line and left it for us in 2021

Slab up past up past two bolts, decide which way you’re going to tackle the over lap and head on up. Gear will present itself if you’ve chosen wisely. Cruise on up past plentiful gear to the anchors. Mind the water streaks as you go. Stick clip recommended but not required.I have no idea what the actual name of this route is so I just started picking names of hanging plants.  

Start on the obvious crescent feature making some almost lie back slab moves. Clip the bolt then go straight up through the steepest part of the overlap. Bit of a run with ground fall potential in the middle on very easy terrain.It's possible that MC climbed this back in the day with either a long run out to the first placement or really lousy gear under the crescent

Start in the moss underneath the first bolt. Try and find the flat spots till you clear the moss then plug gear finishing on the Begonia anchor.I have no idea what the actual name of this route is so I just started picking names of hanging plants. 

Start in the moss underneath the first bolt. Float like a butterfly till you clear the moss then plug gear finishing on the Begonia anchor. I have no idea what the actual name of this route is so I just started picking names of hanging plants. 

Slab up past 4 bolts making sustained 5.8 moves in between each bolt. Easy climbing to the top. Optional gear placements on the easy run out to the anchor

Choose which crack you’re going to start in. The left crack is preferable for both gear and typical wetness. Either way find yourself taking the driest line onto a rib with another crack on the right. Follow this up and then trend right around the foliage and up further right to an anchor. Crux is getting off the ground and getting the first piece of gear. Not too many cracks at Yonah so this one might be worth ticking if it's dry. Expect some dirtiness. Shares an anchor with Crescent Pitch

Clip the first bolt and then make sure you dig out the next gear placement as you work your way up to a good sized ledge. The crux is straight up and only 5.7, but could seem much harder if you do it wrong. After pulling the crux cruise up through well protected easy terrain to the anchorsI have no idea what the actual name of this route is so I just started picking names of hanging plants.

 

Start on the far left side of the cliff. Slab up then figure the way to make the moves at the grade. Continue on up trending right to the anchor. Watch the water streaks. 2 bolt anchor shared with It's Dry That's Why

The Hanging Garden is a previously forgotten cliff halfway between the Lowers and the Main face. It was developed in the 90’s by Michael Crowder and then fallen into obscurity since then. The Hanging Garden is appropriately named as it lies directly below the main flow of water off the Main face. As such this cliff sees a lot of water flow and stays wet for several days after a good rain 

  However the climbing here is better than you might think and it dries faster than you might think as well. All of the climbs are generally on lines that dry the fastest. The left most climbs dry first so start there. Many of the climbs that were wet in the morning will be dry in the afternoon. 

  The climbs in this area are all relatively easy/moderate and well protected. You will need to bring gear to keep it well protected but you could also “Sport” climb it and just accept the long run out on 5.easy terrain at the tops
