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
This is a long (120') pitch of fantastic jamming with great rests and many thoughtful sequences. The crux is moving into and past a wide section, but zero thrutching is required.
P1: Do the first pitch of Lifestream (10d). Scramble up onto the highest tier of ledges and then move the belay all the way to the right end of this ledge.
P2: Beautiful climbing that protects well with small wires; a big cam is very useful for the crux. Belay a few meters below the Beagle's Ear at a horn with slings. 3 raps to the ground (some swinging is required to get over to the anchor atop Zen Effects.
A three star pitch!
