Newman Peak- "The Shady Lady?"

This is the western sub peak of the Newman peak radio antenna site. This oft viewed but seldom inspected wall has new route potential for the brave of heart. The western arete has limited climbing potential, but the main north face is 700 feet. Steep granitic gneiss is similar to a mix of lower Catalina rock (reddish-orange) with spots of bleached granite. The rock is very steep in sections with hard route potential. Be warned the gullies and ledges can be heavily vegetated and have loose rocks. Rockfall is a hazard in this areas until the wall gets cleaned properly.
