[Hide Comment] Someone needs to take a power washer to this entire wall...there are great climbs here, some of the best I've been on at Sinks, but between the streaks of bird shit dripping down the wall, the mountains of chalk and rubber coating every single hold on every single climb, and the already soapy rock, it makes it pretty awful to climb and worse to look at.
