Routes as trad in The Real Hidden Valley Area

A nails boulder problem off the deck guards superb crack climbing above. A true classic. Good gear in the horizontals protects the opening moves.

One of Joshua Tree’s more classic offerings. Pumpy, funky sport climbing all protected by trad gear. Truly an artistic piece of stone.

Starts around the formation left of Sail Away - climb a chimney system.

Starts around the formation left of Sail Away. Climb a crack system about 10 feet right of the chimney Splotch climbs.

Super classic crack climb.

Starts around the corner right of Sail Away, up a bit.

Face climb up a thin seam. 4 bolts & 1 fixed piece for pro.

FA started from the large boulder, that goes at 5.6. Most now seem to start direct from the ground, which is probably 5.7.

On the left end of the wall, climb the right facing corner up and over the roof. Can be top roped from a 2 bolt anchor on top.

Straight up the red wall to the right of 'Child's Play' and through the roof from the right side. Finishes at the same 2 bolt anchor as 'Child's Play'.

Gear is small and sparse, can be top roped from the bolts.

Climb corner and crack.

Start of the wider crack on the right side of the wall. Follow this crack to the top.

Climb blocky terrain to the top of some boulders, then a juggy crack.

Climb the long right-leaning hand & finger crack.

Offwidth

Left of Fisticuffs, at the back of the same major gully is an obvious, clean-looking crack that pulls up over a bulge before easing off. Climb this.

Clean hands -> off-hands -> fist crack that curves up to slightly overhanging. Starts in a high, slightly inset gully near the right end of the formation.

To the right of Fisticuffs is a shorter flare-chimney that squeezes down to about body-thickness about half way up. Climb this.

FA graded it a "Vedauwoo 5.9", so it will likely feel considerably harder.

There's a bolt anchor midway up
