Private Property issues MORE INFO >>> 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. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This is a good sport climb in a beautiful, secluded setting. It is atypical in its steepness for this area, which I typically associate with vertical crimping.

The climb basically consists of two interesting boulder problems over bulges seperated by a great rest. The first boulder problem is perhaps the harder one to figure out. Good beta is very helpful in getting over the bulge. The second problem pulls over the steep prow above with long moves between sharp, positive crimps.

Location 

This is on Ridge 4 just uphill from the concentrated zone with Occupied Territory et al., downhill from The Wild, Wild West.

Protection 

6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
