Hideout Wall Rock Climbing

There are two ways to get there, either from above (Beaver Mesa Approach) or from below (Onion Creek - Fisher Valley Trail). I recommend the latter. Start by taking the dirt Onion creek road off of the River Rd (128) (between mile markers 20 and 21). You follow this for about 10 miles, crossing Onion creek around 20 times. The road eventually opens up into Fisher Valley. At the end of the valley you go left at the 2nd dirt spur (Thompson Canyon Trail, may also say North Beaver Mesa). Follow this through a pass and down a steep grade (you may need 4 wheel drive to get back out.) Hideout Campsite is located on a small road that branches off to the right.(1.8 miles) Hideout Wall is visible above the campsites. Spliff Spire is left of the wall, and is better seen and accessed by driving past the campsite turn off. The approach to the wall starts right behind the campsite by making your own switch backs while aiming for the left side of the wall. There are some cairns in place but no official trail up. As my friends will tell you, it is not a 15 minute stroll up to the wall like I sand bagged them into believing, but more like a 30 minute slog/bushwack. It is a lot of effort to get out here but the solitude and quality of the rock make it worth it.
