Sports Challenge Rock
About Sports Challenge Rock:
| The centerpiece of Real Hidden Valley. A large blocky formation with many excellent climbs on good rock. The only real drawback to this crag is one of it's virtues - the easy access, which results in lots of people. Expect to be on display and open to comment to the innumerable tourists hiking the Nature Trail. Classics here include the steep, athletic Clean And Jerk (5.10c), the thin crack/seam of Sphincter Quits (5.9) and the steep, gymnastic Leave It To Beaver (5.12a). |
