Considering job and move to twin falls. How's the town and local climbing guys?

COR, obviously, but lots of other climbing in a day or two from there, including local, and a ridiculous amount of other outside stuff to do, both mountains and desert (but don't tell anyone).

Compared to S.D., just scale back. Ag is big, lots of wind farms near Twin, can get cold/hot/windy/big weather systems, but, tornados in Idaho just take out lawn mower garages, not swathes of towns.

Really conservative, but super nice, independent people. They are still real Westerners here, take care of themselves, don't have much use for government of any kind, are friendly and will be fast to help if you need it.

Idaho is usually close to the bottom of the lists that most states aim to top, so a great place to live, but it is a hard place to make a living.

Boise, a couple hours away, is the most isolated metro area in the lower 48, Salt Lake is a few hours from Twin the other direction, and Twin itself is the biggest town for quite a ways, if that matters to you. There is a college, so that helps even out the town a bit.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
