California, low(er) elevation, very few people have climbed here, even fewer routes and hiding in plain sight:
A single bolder next to a dirt road. If you've been on this road you've seen this bolder. Hands to fists to offwidth to razor sharp lieback. This think makes Wheat Thin look like a double stuffed Oreo.
Untouched and still close to about 1,000,000 people.
Not exactly a hidden area, but rarely visited by climbers and one of my favorite places to climb, solo, and enjoy life in solitude.

Hey, TrundleBum, your second “Pac-Man” photo looks really familiar. I think my buddy and I put that route up. One bolt on the summit plus a crack with a pin, and a bolted line up a dike to the right of your photo… Same place?

Do posters have to give away the location of their hidden gems? Of course...you don't think we'd show photos of truly HIDDEN gems, do you?
Not until the plum lines are picked at least...
Here's another "hidden" gem:

Trundlebum,

Since I've actually posted this shot before, with full location details, I'm not sure it qualifies for this thread. But still... a handful of us have had the place to ourselves for years, despite it being within an hour of 4 million people (Seattle area)
Here's a shot of another route there.

The canyon above Olancha has seen some activity but everyone Ihave talked to said the rock was grainy and loose. Of course they could just be trying to divert attention. There are some great looking lines up there.

Probably Nasson Ridge. Haven't been there, but the descriptions I hear match your pictures.

*ding* *ding* We have a winner, folks!
I had an acre and a half less than a mile from there for a couple of years. Really good, steep climbing on clean, blocky gneiss. Good jorb, Ghost.
note: Access has been an issue for some number of years, requiring permission to cross private land. This may or may not have been resolved in the last 3 years since I left.

That’s what I was thinking… The Kel-Baker road… just south of Kelso and the Devil’s Playground (sand dunes)…
