Should I keep it secret

Cliffhanger Rock AKA Sphinx Rock
And a 600 foot zip line from the Sphinx across the canyon to Lee's Rock
Slackliners going between the heads, what a show while having dinner at the restaurant !

You forgot the occasional hang glider swooping by 

Joe let the cat out of the bag. He told us the whole story and showed us all kinds of pictures too.
So just ask Joe.

This is the ethic that I'm talking about, the other reason I did the post this way was to try to inspire people to get up get out and find cool things to climb.

Lolz... those climbers' ethics are worse than I could have possibly imagined if they're putting up ladders to get to the top. You're right to keep it secret. Next thing you know, they'll put in an elevator so they can bag the FKT.

A secret crag is not a secret until you post photos and tell everyone they are not allowed. 

Dang, wish I was cool enough to have secret areas....and then not post them on the MP shit show.

Dagburn that whipper-snapper Locker!!! He negates mah coolz.

Gonna change it to "Spraylord Perry" like the Giants pitcher of yore...

:P

For the record. Your choice of screenname negates ANY "Cool" you could have had.

So you see, you're your own problem.

Every time I see Harumpfster Boondoggle I read it as Hamster Bongwaffle

Dang, my secret identity is revealed and I am outed as a CIA agent!

in order to know your answer try this. okay so when you get to the base of Mission Gorge's Main Wall you're gonna wanna take 100 paces climbers left. It helps to have your harness on for this approach as when you get to the top you need to tie your crag pack to a gear loop using a single length sling on a basket hitch. At approximately 9:45AM the shade shall recede and when you look Northeast you will see a bush. go to that bush, your weighted harness is going to allow you to tire yourself out so by the time you get to the bush your heart rate is up, and you will not require a warm-up. now turn belayer's west and look at the paved trail, the next step is the hardest to get right. jump neck first into the gulley below, making sure you have an autoblock to aid your descent. helmet optional. message me for more info on this spot
