Description Suggest change

Hidden Valley is a wind protected upper valley just South of Bighorn Buttress on the same ridge. There are three walls here that form an amphitheater that overlooks the main area.

Getting There Suggest change

Same approach as Bighorn Buttress. The entrance is at the start of Drunken Midget Wrestling. Its a steep scramble to gain the top. Approach shoes are highly recommended. Larger packs make the scramble harder.

There is also a tunnel that goes through the North Wall that opens up to the gully on the left side of Bighorn Buttress. You can scramble up through there and squeeze through the small tunnel to get into the upper valley.
