Newt Rock

California > Central Coast > Wagon Caves

Description

Hueco-dotted sandstone, hangerless bolts . . . pretty vertical face - must be Newt Wall!

Getting There

This bit of rock is the furthest west of the formations. Distinguishable by the block in front of it and the unchopped TR bolts.

[Hide Comment] Has bolts (since 2004). Best line on the rock. Jan 23, 2006

[Hide Comment] The farthest bolt on the Newt-ist Colony is completely loose. Already mentioned on the route page. Would recommend setting up a directional on the single good bolt and using the other set of bolts nearby for top roping. Sep 30, 2012
