Hideout Corner stands as a focused, classic trad climb tucked into the rugged folds of No Name Canyon, just outside Glenwood Springs, Colorado. This 75-foot route follows a distinctive corner that tightens and steepens above, demanding steady movement and careful protection choices. The rock here has character—solid yet textured, it invites climbers to read each move precisely while managing gear placements that become more technical the higher you go. Expect the corner to challenge both your footwork and your sense of balance as the angle shifts upward, forcing a step-wise approach where every hold counts.

The approach through the West Side of The Hideout brings you into a canyon environment marked by raw rocky slabs climbing out of the surrounding juniper and cottonwood growth. The sun filters through narrow clefts during the morning hours, warming the rock just enough to wake up the muscles. This route rewards climbers who arrive early to catch prime conditions and avoid afternoon heat.

Gear up with a small trad rack extending to a #2 Camalot; placements here are sparse and somewhat subtle, so patience and a keen eye are essential. A fixed two-bolt anchor secures the top, allowing for a safe and straightforward descent or rap back. Though short, Hideout Corner offers a concentrated dose of technical climbing and mental focus—a perfect single-pitch adventure for climbers looking to sharpen traditional skills in a less crowded setting.

The climb’s rating of 5.9 PG13 hints at protective challenges more than pure difficulty. The gear can feel a little marginal, especially as the rock steepens, adding a layer of commitment. This route is notably more engaging than many easier canyon climbs nearby, making it a worthwhile step up for intermediates ready to test their trad proficiency. Keep an eye on weather—this canyon can funnel afternoon winds and sudden changes, so a stable forecast improves the experience.

Plan your visit with sturdy shoes that can handle friction on rough, slightly weathered rock, and bring enough water to stay hydrated through the approach and climb. While not a long route, the exposure and technical moves on steeper ground give it a focused intensity that resonates beyond its 75-foot length. Whether you're tuning trad skills or seeking a change from busier crags, Hideout Corner delivers a refreshing blend of movement, terrain, and natural solitude in the heart of Glenwood Canyon.
