group of sport climbs to the left of the sanctuary

Does anybody know the names of a group of 5 bolted routes if you walk around the sanctuary to the left? All of the climbs have highly plated features and are about 65 to 70 ft. tall. I walked further to the left for a few hundred yards and saw no more routes, so I assume these are the last routes to the left of the sanctuary. All really fun climbs. Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Ty

Highly plated? 65 to 70 ft tall?
If you are talking about the Sanctuary in MV, I can only assume you are talking about the Indy Wall. They are routes 1-10 of Lower Tantroft Branch Hollow. The walls are not really that tall and I wouldn't call them plated.... but that's what's to the left of the Sanctuary (unless I'm confusing my left and right again):

The Indy Wall

The routes I asked about earlier are further down the trail to the left than the Indy Wall; probably another couple hundred yards. The face is not nearly as smooth looking as the Indy Wall and quite a bit taller.

The Great Wall then. Coming from the Indy Wall/Sanctuary, start with route 34.... if you are using the bottom approach to The Great Wall, start with route 1...

Would it be possible to put the crag maps back up for Muir and just label which wall is which and then correlate that with listings for the routes? Things like knowing exactly where Indy Wall and Sanctuary are, where the break is in Great Wall, etc. That way people can at least be sure which wall they're looking at and can then figure out the routes.

Good idea, could one of the administrators put the map from the Friends of Muir Valley newsletter on the page for Tantroft Hollow in place of the old map? Please?
Actually would it be possible to have that map on the Great Wall, The Solarium, and The Great Arch also? Hopefully that will help some.
