Description
Bite Rock has two sunny climbs, a nice 5.8 hand crack Acupuncture and a thin grainy face climb The Wolfman. Both are well worth the hike and are at a nice secluded spot a short hike from the Real Hidden Valley Parking lot.
The only thing is these routes are short, but it's Joshua Tree right?

Getting There
From the Real Hidden Valley parking lot, hike back down the road east well past Three Pile Island. Turn north up a small canyon with an obvious trail, the striking hand crack Acupuncture is easily spotted.
You could also get there easy enough from Locomotion Rock or The Wart, but more scrambling.
