My friend Jaimie found a wall a few years ago, and kept it in the "vault" until about a week ago when we snowshoed our way up to the best new find in the Woodfords area in quite a while. !00 feet or so to the top, and the right side overhangs nine feet in ninety. Spill the beans.
Ron, glad u still got it.

Laine.
Scouted that area with the one bolt back in 08-9 and I Havnt found any info on it either. There is I direct line through the roof as you probably saw that would be hard as sh#t
Been trying to get chim chim up there to scope it with me for a few years. Hint hint chim!!!!
There are several possible routes up there but would more that likely need to be sport. Not a lot of crack there
Ron and all...... Great history
Chim let's get out.....things are starting to settle in on the home front now.

Shawn - I would have to agree. There are a few nice single pitchers we saw. Here are my notes from when we went up there.
That trip we TR'd a steep sport climb at the top of that gulley, once it's cleaned up, prolly goes at a hard 11. A crimp chimp would love it. But with all the cracks around I don't see a pressing need to bolt it (doubt it would see many ascents). That might change if the wall gets more routes on it.
A few of my friends said they went back there a week later and climbed the wall to the top thru a scary roof section, though I don't know exactly where. (Gil if you are out there, feel free to chime in)
I'd like to head back up there this Saturday but I really wanna tick off Jamin for Jehovah and Up the Nuthin.

That circled area is it. Crack right through the middle that looked great, but hard. Glad to see you guys are up there getting on those routes. I didnt quit understand the bolt there as I thought there was a crack that could have been used. Maybe flared out? Each one of those "gulleys" up there have a lot of potential for new routes. Im hoping to start getting back up there with everyone soon. Have bolts and anchors and will travel......

wml, you should seriously think about giving CV Sentinel a try down this way, too. I predict you would not be disappointed! :)
Have fun. Tomorrow is supposed to be another glorious day here. Wish I could go two days in a row, dang!

Ron, First crux is immed. around the corner from sunwall, right? I thought left of red pillar. I'm headin up today. Weston, if you haven't done whisker biscuit you should. and the easy routes in the cat scratch area are a lot of fun as well.

Red Pillar anchors are way messed up. Had the same experience when we topped out. Spicy for sure.
Chim Chim. Are you heading up tomorrow? I need to get the Hell out of work. Shoulder is still f'd up but its workable.....

The area is actually very well documented by Chim Chim. Just not available at your local book store.
