Bolts were installed about 2 years ago at a wall in Muir Valley. I am too weak to climb it. Check it out, take off the red ribbon and send it somebody.
1) hike to the great wall in Muir Valley
2) hang a left at the base of the great wall and hike for 5 minutes, following the trail along the cliff.
3) Chase the bolts up the line of weakness on the obvious, intimidating wall: 45 feet of bouldery funk up to a dirty hueco. Climb out the 15 foot roof, yarding on large flakes. Continue up 30 feet of easier climbing to the anchors.
Notes: 1) bring a 200' cord (pretty sure this is long enough)
2) there might be hideous rope drag after the roof - might have to add anchors. 3) bring a brush - I scrubbed for an hour or two, but there may be a dirty hold somewhere. Belayer should avoid potential rock fall hazards. I'm guessing it's about 5.13a and worth the hike.
Please check in with us before working on this project. There are some approach trail and base issues to resolve first.

45 feet of stellar bouldering up bullet rock to a perfect hueco. Climb 15 feet out a roof on bomber flakes, and then continue up easier but 6 star moves to the top.
I guess that was a lame sales job. Yeah, what Andrew said. It is a spray-worthy wall - this is probably the easiest line on it, with lots of futuristic routes next door. Please PM Rick Weber to work on this route. I think the route is fully equipted, and ready to go, but please talk to him (landowner extrordinaire) if you plan on working the route.
Excellent work, Horatio! Man that was quick. You are my hero. Bet that roof was fun. Now bolt a line just to the left: same start, then go left before the pristine hueco. Can't believe it was only 5.12....man I suck.
