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 

Start just to the right of The Adultress. Face climb up into a right-facing corner, about 10a to the first anchor. This part is a good warm up by itself. Above the first anchor, follow the hanging dihedral to the intersection with The Adultress and that route to the anchor. While this route does not not have the thin crux of The Adultress, the pump is greater as it is hard to recover after the hanging dihedral. A 60m rope is required.

Bolts. A 60m rope is required.
