This is a new area in Yosemite for bouldering, there are as of now about 15 problems. The main cave area is the crown of the area, but there are some other interesting chalked up lines including an arete, some cave crawling and side pull throwing. My buddy Matt found this place a few weeks back. He cleaned off the obvious line out of the cave. I snagged the first ascent shortly after. The area is dubbed the Garden and I named the line out of the cave, Black widow. The direct finish aka. Black mamba, which I did today makes this line much more complete. I would say it goes at somewhere V9ish.
Directions: about .5 miles past camp four headed west on the right: Past the crystals is a large rock slide on your right when this ends, this is also the end of the manure pile buttress. There is a pull out on the left. In the future you can park here, but for now the road is closed. Walk directly across the street towards a stump with a rock placed on it. Angle slightly left and the cave area is bout 300 feet back.
