Access Issue: Private Property issues
Details
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.

Description
A bit of loose rock and a contrived finish detract from the fun climbing and great position. Begin with "the approach pitch" by climbing a long stretch of 5.5 past a single bolt. An optional piece of gear would eliminate the run out. Clip the anchor and head straight up into the roof above (notice the climb's namesake tucked under the roof). A difficult clip off some good pockets leads out to the arete and a huge flake/rest. One can stand on this flake (the natural line seems to go straight up from here) and clip the last bolt before downclimbing and continuing out the arete to a horn. There is one more difficult move getting established on this horn before the anchors.
