The West Bank / Wild West / Secret Crag has been problematic for years due to access concerns. There have been negative encounters with gun-toting landowners who have alleged that the entire mountain is on private property. Typical approaches involve brief crossing of railroad property which appears to be prohibited.
Exact demarcation of property boundaries are not always clear. When in doubt, be discrete or polite.
Do not park your vehicle near the railroad tracks near Plainview. It is a well-known irritant to Plainview residents.

You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description The name for the route apparently comes from the tricky start which is either hard (5.9+) or harder (5.10c) with no protection. Luckily, the crux at the small roof at about 90' is better protected, but this is a serious route.
Location This route follows the crack system between Don't Panic It's Organic and Beagle's Ear. To descend, you can do a short pitch up right to the top of the standard Mickey Mouse rappel route or rap off one of the neighboring routes.
Protection Not much gear, but bring a standard rack anyway.
