This is an obvious line connecting cracks up the middle of the crag.  It's easier than it looks, but it has a decent amount of fragile and detached flakes, so tug carefully.

Move up below a funky, proboscis-like bulge.  Pass it on the left.  Continue through another short crack.  Pay attention to the flakes as you tug from here to the top.

There is a tall boulder and tree a bit further back to use for an anchor.  We went to the

Tetherly Designs

line to rap off, but it is decently exposed.  You may be able to walk off to the right.

For me, the abundance loose features made it hard to give it a star.

Streaking

This is the leftmost bolted line at the Upper Wall at The Real Hidden Valley.  Apparently it is called Streakers.  It climbs a bit oddly as the obvious line of holds lie a bit to the right of the bolts.

Move up and left towards the 1st bolt.  You can get yellow & orange TCUs before the bolt.  Continue up and right of the bolts on bigger features.  The crux is at the top.  You may find a line perhaps 11+ if you stay more belly-to-the-bolts.  There is no fixed anchor.  There is a tall boulder under which you can get a #3.5 and #4 Camalot.  There is a tree back from the edge that can be slung with 20+ feet of sling.  Be careful not to have your slings go over the various loose blocks up there.

This climb starts just left of the streak on

Streakers

. Pull over a steep bulge down low on protruding holds. Continue up the face with decent gear. Pull through the steep and exciting orange face at the top. Find a tree to rap.

This is the second bolted line from the right at the Upper Wall of the Real Hidden Valley.  It is a good route, but those under 5'10" may find avoiding the initial roof to be more enjoyable.

A stick clip may be useful for the 1st bolt.  Pull over the initial roof (crux) to the right of the 1st bolt.  Taller folks may find the pull easier.  You can get yellow and orange TCUs in a horizontal.  Drift right getting a good flake to the right of the 2nd bolt.  Find curiously good holds that keep appearing to finish at the bolt anchor.

The crux is somewhat reminiscent of the cruxes of

Note, a shorter climber may find it better to traverse in from the left after clipping the 1st bolt for

The rating I gave may reflect the left shoulder discomfort I've had of late.

This is a crack on the far left side of the crag. The climb starts with face moves similar to those on

Prissy Prancin’

(basically the same moves) and continues up the crack to the top. No section is much harder than any other, but there is some loose rock near the top. The whole climb protects well.

This is the far right route with fixed gear on the crag.

Jam up the narrowing crack that angles to the right of the 1st bolt.  Pull onto the face.  Make a balancy mantle move to the second bolt.  The obvious line seems to utilize a triangular, seemingly solid hold that makes one not want to put one's face in front as you load it.  Be careful with that top block above the anchor.  It seems to be just sitting there.

This line is amusing and is another easy trad line at the crag. It climbs the obvious crack line on the far right side of the crag. There is a fun lieback crack near the beginning which is the crux area. Be aware of loose flakes in this area. I cleaned most of the looseness. Above, there is a small overhang with a crack through it. It looks hard but is not. After this area, you are on the ledge where the other routes at the crag end. You could bail here (there are good cracks for an anchor). Above, you continue up a chimney/slot to trees on top.

This is a fun, left-facing dihedral with interesting climbing and holds. The hardest part is near the bottom where you move left of a small roof. There are good holds here, but you must look hard for the easiest passage. Above, the climbing and protection are good, and the moves are fun.

This is a pleasant route up the middle of the crag that suddenly gets tricky at the top.

You can start from the left in a wide crack or scamper around from the right past a stack of rocks (cairn?) to the cleft below the 1st bolt.  A #3 Camalot-size piece can ease the mind to clip the 1st bolt, although it isn't too tough.  Move right onto the face.  Angle left to a ledge.  Clip the bolt and get small cams in the crack.  At the top, the feet get iffy and a high left step is in order.  The 2 bolt anchor is to the right.

If for some reason you want to chimney left of the 1st bolt, you can get a #4 Camalot in that slot before the 2nd bolt.

The rating I gave may reflect the left shoulder discomfort I've had of late.

This route is fun if you want something else fairly easy at the wall. The hardest part is at the beginning when you move into the layback finger crack that ascends to the right. You can stem here and use a jug on

Valley Boys

to get through the difficulties  Above, the crack ends and you have two choices: you can either go straight up some suspect rock with great looking holds or continue to the right and go up a small corner. The two options meet on a small ledge, and fairly easy rock takes you to the top. There is some loose rock on the route and at the top. I cleaned some of it.

This route is okay if you want something to play on, but it is not stellar for the crag. It starts off fairly easy, and then you run into the small roof with the crux. The holds are small here for both hands and feet. Moving past here to the top, you zig-zag left and right on easier rock.
