Hidden Valley is the center of the Park for climbers. It is the
main climber's campground, and if you don't have a car, this is where you need
to be. You can walk to hundreds of climbs, and often times there are climbs
right out of your campsite. The climbs in Hidden Valley are awesome and the
obvious lines were some of the first rock climbs done in the Park. Because this
is sort of a higher use area, it is also one of the most developed as far as
established climbing routes goes. Drive into Hidden Valley on a nice sunny April
weekend, and you'll see climbers all over the place. There are many sport climbs
in the Hidden Valley area. Remember, that some of these sport climbs are
run-out, may need supplemental gear, and might not have a sport anchor. Enjoy,
check your knot and harness, and never eat anything bigger than your head.
