Description 

The Entrance Boulder, a large round block found at the head of the trail leading into Real Hidden Valley, has about half a dozen problems ranging from V-easy to V6 and even includes a run-and-jump problem.

Just west of the Entrance Boulder and right off the trail is the popular highball of Betty Jo Yablonksi (V0 R) which climbs horizontal slashes to a comitting topout.

Getting There 

Park in the large Real Hidden Valley parking area (it can get very crowded on the weekends and during the holidays and spring break) and make a short walk to the boulders. Betty Jo Yablonski and the aptly named Entrance Boulder are visible at the start of the nature trail.

One of 10 or so classic high balls in the Park, as well as one of the easiest, this is the first climbable feature you'll see on your left as you enter the real Hidden valley corridor. Refrain from setting a TR and just go for it as the crux is encountered midway while leaving the top is a feeling to be savored and not feared. Don't expect to send in a quiet setting as foot traffic is heavy here. That's ok though, more people to hoot as you top out!...[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
