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.
