I don't understand bolting a crag, then keeping it a secret. Why not just top rope it and save some money? Either leave no trace, or share with others.

It doesn't seem 'either/or' to me. There's quite a difference between keeping something totally secret, and not publicizing/promoting it. The middle way is when a spot is not a secret (plenty of people know about it, it's in a guidebook,etc) but not posted on the Internet.
I don't get your comment on leave no trace. If that seemed important in the least, then I would think you would not want it trumpeted. Maybe some people want a quiet, peaceful place to climb and be in nature.

Tfish,
That looks like the Spring Crag area near Williamson but I guess it could be anywhere.

No grease on the lower area. I just spent five days putting up a five move slab problem there. Probably could do it first time in the winter. Beautiful setting down there.

That last pic from Pyro looks like something off of Malibu Canyon Rd. There are a few slabs tucked up in some side canyons that always looked worth checking out. Of course, I could be totally wrong...

Fat Dad nails it! That photo is of an obsucre side canyon off Malibu canyon Road called " The Slab that Time Forgot". There are some 5.8 to 5.11- polished slabs that are OK.

I put a post under "why are you bored of Stoney Point" on a mini-crag I found some worthwhile climbs on in hills west of Stoney Point. I should have added it to this thread.
