Description Suggest change

A great location to go if you're looking to avoid the crowds, the sun and the good climbing. This place needs much development. Right across from walmart wall and entirely North facing. Silver Fox is the leftmost climb that makes sense to access via the West trail, and Kipper Kisses the rightmost of the Eastern area. It's a 10 min slog/bushwhack to get between the two sides.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at scarface and take the approach to the power wall. At the fork, head right. Blocked by a log. It's the first shady cliff in view past walmart wall. 

Around Walmart walking the creek bed seemed easier.  Cairns mark the first 1/3 of the approach.

Anyone know what route this is? It's to the left of bar fight & cheap scotch. The creak freak book shows the next route to the left of cheap scotch is "South of No North" 5.9, but this route felt much harder than a 5.9 to me.
