Tide Country

Description 

The very northern end of the Breadloaves, home to a handful of crack climbs.

To descend, there is a hard to find 5.3 scramble on the right (facing the crag) or rap from slings at the top of Interceptor; this rap is less than 100' but I don't know if it is less than 80'.


Getting There 

Park at the waterpump, then walk around on the road to the west side of the UBL, then follow a short (100'?) trail and weave among some boulders to get to the climbs.

If your feet are getting cold, go right onto Tide Country (10b). Otherwise, place a high pi...[more]   Browse More Classics in ID
