[Hide Comment] This page could use a little updating for newer routes and overall clarity. A lot of the area's routes only list them alphabetically, and are missing some of the routes. Adding more information to be able to use the Left to Right tool would make some of these areas that have a lot of routes close together more discernible. This page is already 70% there compared to the local guide book (which is already out of date). If the trouble has been taken to put this information on the web, might as well update and refine it.

Also, I'm pretty sure its "Q'Emiln" not "Q'Emlin" Mar 21, 2014

[Hide Comment] The "official" name is Q'emiln (rapids, whitewater) which marks an ancient salmon spearing site at the nearby Post Falls --- but anytime you try to express a native american word in roman text it's a craspshoot.
The local guide is out of print -- it was just too expensive -- but there is an excellent state-of-the-art, online version at postfallsidaho.org/prparks.…
There's phone reception most places in the park so you can smart phone it on the spot --- or download for free if you wish. Enjoy.......... Jul 8, 2014

[Hide Comment] This was a great climb, easy approach, great location and solid anchors. You can walk up to the top of the walls and set up rappelling or a top rope if you don't want to lead climb. Really enjoyed it, happy we found it! Jul 10, 2014

[Hide Comment] How are the crowds here? Do people climb here enough so that it would be likely to meet partners by just showing up in the parking area? I'm here for a month, I have a rope and a rack but no partners yet. Jul 18, 2014

[Hide Comment] We did a few 10s (soft) on the Post Wall when passing through on a road trip. The climbing here was surprisingly good with short approaches in a pretty setting about a mile off the interstate. My wife and I have climbed many of the most well known places in the west where you are as likely to see out of state climbers as in state and this is some of the best rock of any place we have been. I was not able to find much on the geology of the area but we were told it is some kind of metamorphic granite. Where we were some of the cliff face looked like glacier polished granite with a beautiful green color but the polished green areas were staggered in depth so it must be something besides glacier action?? It may not be the ultimate overhung 5.12 crag but I can't speak to that. Another caveat is if your preference is multi pitch climbing then this would not be the place.
From our limited sample of one Saturday it appears to be mostly a younger locals scene. The 6.5 hour return drive for a few days of mid week climbing seems like it would be worth it to us. Jul 11, 2022
