Phipps' Gardens

The climb is friction/smearing up a smooth slab. It is more typical of granite slab climbing than other routes on the Beehive.

The crux is smearing with thin edges for fingers between bolts one and two.

A second crux is at another slab between bolts 5 and 8, if you climb directly up the bolts.

This is more sustained than most other moderate Beehive routes.

The trail to Beehive emerges at a broken, left-facing dihedral/drainage system. This climb is located on the smooth rock just left of the broken area.

The rightmost two bolts on the smooth slab are for the "

Back to Bucket Country

" route.

Sport route with 11 bolts plus a two bolt anchor.
