Unknown Sylvan Lake Formations!?

These formations are on the way to the Outlets and are in between the Sylvan Dam and Neptune's Castle. I did a climb on the arete of the Southern most formation and found two pitons on the way up, the climb itself was about 5.5 to 5.6 if that rings any bells. I am simply curious as to the name and history of these formations especially because they are not in any guidebook I possess including the Herb and Jan Conn guidebook and are not included on any maps.

That is what I thought but I brought it up to Tater and he did not know. Brent Kertzman thought the same when he commented on my facebook.
