"Despite bouldering at the Stone Garden having started sometime around 1995-1997, the area has extremely limited recorded history. This is unsurprising considering all of the initial development happened before the time of mainstream internet, and long before social media.

From Rocco: "Despite bouldering at the Stone Garden having started sometime around 1995-1997, the area has extremely limited recorded history. This is unsurprising considering all of the initial development happened before the time of mainstream internet, and long before social media. What I could piece together comes via word of mouth and some foggy memories (both of which are vastly more reminiscent of the experience than names and grades) combined with my personal experience with the area and its developers starting with my first introduction to it in 2007. As such, many ascents and problem names have likely been lost to time, so the best I can do is credit the many climbers who I’ve learned have passed through here over the years. When you are out there with enjoying the clean lines, trails, and landings you are following in the footsteps of Mike Beck, Mike Call, Marc Russo, Todd Verrone, David Gurman, Luke Cudney, Paul Trusting, Rob Guinn, Ryan Wedemeyer, Vic Copeland, Justin Wood, Johnny Landry, Nikki Smith, Mary Anter, Kyle McFarland, Jami McFarland, Taylor McNeil, Larson Quick and even visiting climbers Lynn Hill, Chris Sharma, Ivan Greene, and Noah Kaufmann, along with many more I’m certain to be missing. As with any climbing area, but especially in one with such a pristine and fragile alpine environment, please treat the area with the care it deserves all the way from the car to the boulders. - Stay on established trails. - Do your best not to disturb wildlife. - Carry out everything you carry in (if you see litter left by others consider picking it up). - Don’t chip/glue or otherwise alter the rock. - Limit cleaning of lichens and mosses to the minimum amount necessary. - Don’t get crazy with altering landings. The minimum amount necessary for basic safety. - Pick up pads instead of dragging them to reduce erosion. - Wipe your shoes clean before pulling onto the wall EVERY ATTEMPT. - Don’t chalk footholds. - Please PLEASE brush not only your tick marks, but also brush the holds periodically throughout your session and before you leave a problem. Consider how nice it is to walk up to a clean problem and extend that courtesy to others. What the Stone Garden lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. The rock is beautiful and produces some really cool holds and movement. I sincerely hope the problems and their incredible surrounding environment helps you become another name on the long list of climbers to make memories with both friends and sends in this little boulder field."
