The West Bank / Wild West / Secret Crag has been problematic for years due to access concerns. There have been negative encounters with gun-toting landowners who have alleged that the entire mountain is on private property. Typical approaches involve brief crossing of railroad property which appears to be prohibited.
Exact demarcation of property boundaries are not always clear. When in doubt, be discrete or polite.
Do not park your vehicle near the railroad tracks near Plainview. It is a well-known irritant to Plainview residents.

Description Approach via the first pitch of the Green/Red Dihedral, then head up past five bolts to a two-bolt anchor.
Boxcar Willie gets the bomb in my book: I felt the bolts are placed poorly - both difficult clips and bad fall potential in some places. But moreover, the line is contrived, staying just left of a much more obvious weakness up this shield of rock.
Oh, and then there's the fact that it's about a number grade sandbagged.
Protection Five bolts.
