Where can you find route desciptions and directions to these new walls in the Murray-Pendergrass property?

Inner Circle only has a couple projects right now (two open, 5.12ish), and the Volunteer wall is super new. I hope to have route info posted this week on the rrgcc.org site. Just have to gather the info from Johnny, Ryan, etc. Gallery is an older area, with some pretty cool routes, I hope to have that info this week as well.

Oh, and I updated the directions in the on-line guidebook for the playground and shady grove. If you follow those to the parking area, just pass the first trail sign, and the next trail (marked) will take you to the volunteer wall. Routes are to the left and right once you hit the cliff line. If you pass that sign, you will come to the trail to the gallery. Never been there, so that is all I can tell you for now. Inner circle is past the shady grove, just follow the so-so trail to a sign then head up the hill to the routes.

From John, posted on the rrgcc.org forums I will try to get them into the online guidebook sometime this week:

Thanks to all the volunteers at D-Day, there are many new routes and projects there now. If you see a rope hanging on or near a route, I'd stay away from it since the anchor placements are not yet finished. Otherwise, the intent is to have the routes open for all asap.

Much of the development has been at Volunteer Wall and Left Field. Once a few more routes go in, it will make more sense in describing their locations. So far, we have added the following routes (from left to right):

Volunteer Wall

Darwin Loves You 5.9+ (Sunshine/Moonbeamish)
Project 5.11b?
Project 5.11d?
Family Tradition 5.10a (crack to face on arete)
Nice to Know You 5.10b (slab)
Helping Hands 5.10d (slab)
Swap Meet 5.6 (vert w/ big holds)
First Time 5.9 (edging w/ some arete)

Left Field (it's between Volunteer and The Playground)

Lowered Expectations 5.6 (lots of holds, angles right)
Apoplectic Chick from Missouri 5.9 (jugs to rest, rails to easy ground)
Autograft 5.11a (long reaches to a perplexing bulge)
Hop Scotch 5.10c (edges with a pump)
Out in Left Field project 5.11d? (crimping to a stopper move)
Project 5.10b?

As more routes go in, they will mess up the order given above, but anyway, its a start.

Where exactly is the playground? I started following the trail at the back of the old rrgcc parking lot by the motherload, went throught the new one and ended up at what i thought was playground, but turned out to be volunteer wall. Is playground further down? Also, Volunteer wall is some pretty cool stuff! The two slab routes sure were fun after i cleaned them for about 30 minutes.
