Kendall's Garden
About
Kendall's Garden is Michael Kendall's first bolted crag. This crag is where he spent 100s of hours cutting trees, removing moss and boulders and he would always say, "I am going to do some gardening." when he left. This section is a historical marker of Kendall's taking over the bolting and maintenance of the local area from Chris Hamper the founder of Teacher's Hill who began by bolting First Generation over 30 years ago. Follow the small trail on the right, ~ 20 meters from the parking lot, to access this lower crag.

You may not go above the swoop on the right. Ending with a committing move to the bowl on the right. FA TBD
Hard Hard but possible...we think. Use the small pockets and available features to reach the Throne, bowl at the top. You can not use the right swoop ledge.
4Follow a series of one and two finger pockets to reach the right side of the large bowl feature above. Mantle or struggle to finish. FA TBD
Climb to to the ledge crack and struggle over the rounded overhang (on poopy slopers) to exit the slab above.
Super fun mix of powerful and delicate moves. The title is helpful here.
A left variation of Alpha Crack. Take the lower crack to the first ledge and head up the rounded feature to the anchors on the left.

Exit Alpha Crack early and make your way through the slab to the head wall. FA: Natasha Lambert (TR)
Getting There
Exit the main road E-57 toward Flekke. You will see our local petrol station and grocery store, The Flekke Joker, on the right. Follow the small paved road for 3 minutes over a small bridge, past a frisbee golf course, then under a large overhanging rock cliff that was blasted to build the road. Continue on through a field and up a hill. Once you reach the top of the hill the turn will be part way down the hill on the left. You will see a large blue wooden structure on the left. Turn in there.
