Description
More for roped climbing than bouldering.
includes a couple of problems in the Sunny Picnics sector (and perhaps a traverse across the bottom of the Tower Wall).
. (There would be some nice problems on the right half of the Tower Wall, but they have bad landings).
Currently descriptions and photos for these problems are under the "roped climbing" part of Mountain Project's Powerlinez area:

Getting There
The Tower Wall is easily visible while driving in on Torne Valley Rd. Several ways to get there. The easiest (though not the shortest) is to start North up the dirt road for the trailhead about 1350 feet to the second intersection. Turn Left and go SouthWest about 500 feet to an intersection. Turn Right (NW) up short steep hill, then curve Left and go flat WSW another 200 feet.
