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
Clip the first five bolts of Ejaculator trending up and right. Instead of finishing right as for that route, head straight up the overhanging (and sharp!) hand and fist crack to the top of the wall. The crack itself is mid-5.10 and is a nice variation finish to Ejaculator.
There's a two-bolt anchor set back about ten feet to lower from. It's easy to walk up the back side to retrieve anchor draws. *This anchor was already there, so it's possible this route was already climbed. However, I haven't found any info on the crack and I believe the anchor was used to place anchors on the several sport routes that don't top out the wall.

Location
Scramble beneath Wild Blue Yonder to a ledge about 50 feet up. The first bolt is shared by Ganas, Ejaculator, and Straight A Student.
