Japanese Gardens (to 1st anchor)

An abridged version of the first pitch of Japanese Gardens, this first part (to the lower anchors) offers great moderate climbing and is a good warm-up or fun lead on its own for 5.9+/5.10- climbers. It follows a shallow right-facing corner at the start, which becomes a wide flake.

Please be considerate of faster parties hoping to blitz to the harder stuff above as this short pitch is the access to super-classic 4-star 5.11+ climbing.

Starts on Japanese Gardens. About mid-way between Princely Ambition and Godzilla.
