The Joshua Tree National Park Superintendent's Compendium states that: 1. Vegetation is not allowed to be used as an anchor. 2. Only neutral or rock colored bolt hangers are allowed.
located inside the Real Hidden Valley, this rock is renowned for several classic roped climbs like Clean and Jerk and Leave It to Beaver. there are plenty of tourists along the nature loop trail who will stop and gawk.
Getting There
Follow the entrance trail from the parking lot. Once inside and it dead-ends, turn right for 60-70 yards going over a small rise with stone steps. Sports Challenge Rock is the obvious large, dark colored formation on your left.
[Hide Comment] from a user's perspective, it may be easier keeping it inside the "Real Hidden Valley Bouldering" section...if you're looking to boulder in this area, it would be easier to find these climbs beneath this section than separating them by putting them underneat the "Sports Challenge Rock" main section.
