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.

You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment
|
|
Description This is the bolted face just right of Lifestream. The climbing is "interesting" and fairly sustained. To access this climb, either climb the first pitch of Lifestream, or it is possible to scramble up to this ledge system via a loose 5th class scramble 100 yards uphill (not bad in approach shoes). Getting to the first bolt is heads up, but if you have any business on this route, it will not be an issue. The crux is around the 4th (?) bolt, and the rest is great face climbing. Either step right to an anchor around the 80 foot mark or finish on Lifestream for a 130 foot pitch.
Location This is right of Lifestream.
Protection 8 - 11 bolts depending on what anchor you stop at.
