A fun scrambleMy only time on top of a G.O.G. rock, though I've been on the lower slopes of them all.

following the sunafter freezing in the shade on the 3 graces we spent the remainder of our day chasing the sun around the garden, starting with the easy tourist gully. straightforward, enjoyable scrambling brought us to a lovely notch and a ledge bringing us to the summit. fun jaunt!

Tourist RouteNeat little scramble and climb to the top of Gate Rock on a freakishly warm November day.

To North GatewayThis turned out to be a fine consolation prize to the highest tower in the Garden via the Tourist Gully, which is nothing more than a scramble with a few low 5th class bouldering moves. Can be done w/o rope, but bring gear so you don't get busted!

North Gateway Rock summitBeing peakbaggers, we scrambled up the Tourist Gully to access the highpoint of North Gateway Rock. A fun, worthwhile little climb with amazing views.
