T Wall is one of the best sandstone crags in the south. It has 99% cracks/face climbing and some very hard sport routes from 12a-14a. Routes range in length from 60-120 feet. Best time to climb is from Nov-March. Camping is good as well, you are only 20 min from Chatt. If you stop in Chatt check out Lupi's Pizza and Sticky Fingers BBQ. Some routes you should hit are:
(This is only a sample)
Jay Walker 5.7
Razor Worm 5.8
Golden Locks 5.8
Open Casket 5.9
Where Lizards go to Die 5.9
Cake Walk 5.10a
Eletric Rats 10c
Finger Lockin Good 10b
Sugar in the Raw 11a
Fly with the Falcon 11b
Short Arm Inspection 11b
Hell or High Water 11b
Mrs. Socraties(sp) 12a/b
T Wall is very unique, It is my second favorite crag, just behind the Gunks. Although, it is the best sandstone crag I have ever been to. I would love to get out to Indian Creek.

I've only done 'pre-req 4 ex.' (highly rec'd). lusr.
Rib and Loin also excellent bbq. Momo's (N on 27) gives Shufords a pretty good run.

Cool pix guys. Dr Kodos, the pix on your first post are kind of small any chance a bit bigger. I've only heard about this area never seen or been to it. Also what are the ratings on those climbs?
It looks like that is good sandstone, far better than what I was brought up on in the Bay Area at Mt Diablo.

A campus move on a 5.9? Only if you cannot Finagle another way of doing it.
