On the Front Wall:  

  Although this could use some cleaning, I feel this could be one of the best in the area...  

  Walk to the right of "Abyss" and down to the front of the tall, proud, near highball face. Look for the large left facing "sidepull" feature at about 6 feet off the ground. This line stand-starts on the lesser rail to the left of the feature.  

  Stand start on the rail, post feet on tiny knobs. move right to the huge feature, and then travel past the feature to the upper right to gain the good crimp. move high up to the top of the boulder to gain more confident territory through nice jugs. continue to top out through the lofty top. One of the best in the area...

Tough and awesome! This is the sit to "Strength Of One"

 Sit start in the diagonal undercling with your left, right hand on whatever works for you.

 Pull up and into the gnarly crimps overhead and finish as per Strength In Numbers.

FA: July 3rd 2010.  

  Walk past the top lookout and past Bi-lingual. Instead of turning left to walk up the stone stairs, go off trail and hug the boulder-line. Pass The Cut where you will find "Abyss" "Crash" "Dual" "T.D.B" and others. Past The Cut, you will see a large, tall, exposed boulder face that is easily seen from the road. this is the Listening Wall.    The Listening Wall is just outside of The Cut, and starts as the corner to the right of "Abyss".    To find "Communion Crack" walk the wall, passing the huge detached block in the middle of the wall. Communion is the long crack past the block and before the tree growing against the wall.  

  Stand start on a good rail to match on. work up along the crack useing face holds and rails along the way. at the top, use a long rail to the right of the crack and then above that, a massive jug ledge. match the jug ledge and gain a crimp knob and a huge bucket for the stand up top out...  

This is the same exact line as "Strength In Numbers" only with a harder, more badass start to it.  

  Find the huge sidepull feature and look below it for the obvious tiny thin crimp hands.  

  Start on the crimps and climb into the feature, linking into the standard problem. Tough!  

  (Oh, and if you're a mutant try the "Strength Of A Thousand" sit start project too) 

Walk around the front wall to the right (or take the trail which is easier to reach these by) and go all the way around to the back. The boulder is a rounded dome on the back which forma ripply, juggy, fun slab lines. 

  These are perfect to learn on and There are several fun V-B to V-0 lines and variations.

This starts "Strength of One" at the undercling, moves into the two crimps, trends right through a hard, big move to a small pocket/crimp (sculpted into a pink dropstone) and the left facing sidepull/pinch below the pocket/crimp, and links into the start for "The Next Generator" to finish as per. 

  15+ moves: burly low moves into pure, juggy, highball awesomeness for the finish!

  When you get the second ascent of this one please post here with your grade opinion. I suck at grades so your thoughts here will be a big help!

Stand start to the right of Strength in Numbers (to the left of the huge detached block) in the long, deep, sometimes wet, diagonal jug rail. 

  Work up and left through good but thin crimps to finish Strength in Numbers.

Tall, blank (mostly), easy access, and proud... The Front Wall is seen from the road and definitely worth a stop. Strength In Numbers is a fantastic and lofty problem, and several easy going lines are to its far right. There are many patches of moss here and they shouldn't be bothered.  

  Problems here range from V1-V10, so pick your poison and get psyched.
