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 

Climb Terminal to the first anchors, then move left making some cool face moves until you reach the obvious, right-trending crack between the Terminal extension and Railslide. When the crack tapers off, step right and join Railslide for the final 3 bolts. Beware of the huge, loose flake in the roof of Railslide!

The gear is thin but very good and reasonably spaced. It is possible to climb to the roof of Railslide, and then lower down to check out the gear and set up a toprope. The crack by itself is probably 12b or c.

Location 

Look for a thin crack between the extension to Terminal and Railslide.

Protection 

Terminal has fixed draws. Bring cams ranging from #1 Camalot down to a #00 TCU. You may also want some RPs.
