Wheeler-Newsome Wall, aka Hong Wall

Description 

This wall is home to three routes. All follow crack systems which lean right and all kick back to various degrees (i.e, hard). The rock is nice and abrasive with a little flakieness off to the sides.

The wall gets morning sun and then shade later in the day.

Tick Fever is the most popular route, but Wing Nut and Strewn Masters of Gore (look like they) are worth doing.

Getting There 

This wall is located between the Crescent/Coffin Buttress and the Egg Buttress. It is on the lower back side of the Keel. It can be approached from either the Egg or the Coffin side. About 2/3rds way up to the base of the Coffin cut east and around the base into a loose wash. Scramble up to base of climbs.Or from the Egg trail split left just before you begin scrambling up to the Egg.
