Hidden Falls Wall is a climbing area in Nevada's Rainbow Mountain Wilderness, within the Bureau of Land Management's Red Rock/Sloan Field Office. It sits on public land managed by the BLM, and several other climbing areas and hikes lie within a short distance, so it fits easily into a day spent exploring the surrounding crags and trails. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable conditions. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 70°F with lows near 47°F, and October highs around 75°F with lows near 50°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the wall, so temperatures here run a bit cooler. The area holds nine routes, mixing sport and trad styles with grades from 5.8 up to 5.13b. The 5.8 chopped former sport route and Camel Toe (5.9) are among the easier options, while Stupid Foot (5.11a) and Outrageous Fortune (5.13b) offer more challenging sport climbing. Lost Creek Lower Tier and Willow Springs South are both climbing areas about 0.1 mile away, and the Lost Creek Trail starts at a similar distance. For an overnight stay, Red Rock Canyon Campground is about 6.6 miles away.
