Access Issue: Area Closed
Details
Per Melvin Glerup who is one of the landowners in the area: this Pinecliffe area is closed, since it is on private property.
Wonderland is on public lands but involves a tedious approach for legal access which is not through Pinecliffe.

Description
There have been several recent incidents with Union Pacific, so please ensure that your approach is via legal means only.
This crag begs for a glorious name, and while a lot of people have contributed to the first ascents here, no one seems to know its name. Wonderland is one name that has come up in discussion, and the crag is indeed one of the few "new" cliffs of real significance and is arguably one of the best finds in the last eight years. It is largely south-facing, granite, and relatively huge. Imagine The Lost Angel and you would not be far off the mark. The crag is close to 300 feet at the high point, and 1,000 feet wide. It is now host to 50 or so routes ranging from 5.8 to 5.13, and the rock is brilliant.
Eds. Note climbs (e.g. The Weasel, 5.8) have been done here dating back at least to the 1970s.
