Description

The aptly named Hidden Corridor is well worth seeking out for the standout route Wedlock.

Getting There

The standard approach is from the northeast side of Isles in the Sky and involves scrambling into the Isles Corridor, walking it's length and then at it's mouth doubling back into the Hidden Corridor. This approach takes about 10 minutes from the base of Bird of Fire; 30 minutes from the parking area.

An alternate approach is to circle around Isles in the Sky to the southeast face where an entrance to the Hidden Corridor comes into view. A short bit of scrambling from the desert floor leads into the corridor. This approach takes about 5 minutes from the base of Isles in the Sky (Northeast Face); 25 minutes from the parking area.
