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 the lowest route on the upper (main) section of Ridge 1. It may be the easiest line on this crag. It is short, pocketed, and fun. The finish is reachy for the height-challenged.

It is on a section of the crag which faces east, so it can be in the shade.

Location 

This is the lowest route on the upper (main) section of Ridge 1.

Protection 

3 bolts with old, homemade hangers, 2 open hooks for anchors (shared with Golden Shower).
