It never ceases to amaze me that striking lines are still to be found a stones throw from a fairly major road. This next area was discovered when I stopped to inspect a steep wall visible from a road, and while that wall didn't have much of interest another wall 50ish meters away held a couple impressive looking problems. The steep face has a perfect starting jug in the middle and two independent lines of holds. There is no cheating these climbs as the rock offers just enough to be climbable. After brushing I briefly tried both problems and can imagine myself doing the easier right problem with a fresh day and a little more work. The better looking left line is definitely possible but feels just over my head. I can almost fathom doing all the moves but this will probably require someone stronger to put together. This left line in particular is a real gem and is begging to be climbed.
The area also holds some good slabs on perfect rock and a few other moderate to easy problems we never got around to brushing. Here are a couple pictures.
Trying the left project and wishing I was stronger
From here you will bust a big move left or do some delicate matching to make the move more reasonable
The right project.
The first move of the right project
Crimping will be required
