New Jack City is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land in California's Barstow Field Office, about 0.1 mile from the Bighorn Buttress and Hidden Valley climbing areas. It sits among several other bouldering spots, including South Wall and West-Bound Crags, and Sawtooth Canyon Campground is about 0.3 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with four routes listed. They range from V1 to V3-4, with the hardest being Much excitement. The routes are Pour Choices (V1), 19 Crimes (V2), Wishbone (V2) and Much excitement (V3-4). Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Victorville show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 79°F, while July and August average in the upper 90s. That station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run cooler.
