This route climbs the outside left edge of Pitted Rock. The climb faces the trail into The Real Hidden Valley. 3 bolts lead to a short crack and a 2 bolt anchor on top.

Thin-ish handcrack up a right-facing dihedral located to the left of Hurricane.  Finish by traversing right to the bolted rap rings atop Hurricane, or continue slightly left up a chimney to the rap anchor atop Pitfall.

One could also lower or scramble down into the pit below the boulder ledge start, to double the length of dihedral crackin' fun.

This is a crack climb located on the face to the right of Pitfall/Cockpit face. It varies from finger to hand, and ends at a 2 bolt loweroff. The climbing is good.

This is a coarse, awkward, strenuous crack climb.  If you don't mind coarse rock, it's a lot of fun.  Liebacking up a flake, followed by some thin hands jamming, takes you to a stance on a steep face.  A long crux move leads up to flared hand jamming and an exit to the top.

Steep opening moves lead up and sorta left on good holds.  The top out is the probable crux as some actual big moves must be done to grab the top jug and do the summit mantel.

This route is the right edge to the right of Pitfall. Climb up past bolts to the run-out finish of Pitfall.  Not a trad climb because all you need is quick draws, but not a sport climb because of the run-out. It's a bolt protected face climb with a run-out.

The crux on this route comes right off the first bolt, but the whole route is strenuous until you join The Gash (.10a) at the end. It is possible to enter the crack earlier or later, but I'm not sure it changes the overall difficulty much.
