Description

Mores Mountain consists of two granite spires which contain many bolted face routes, and a few cracks. Much of the rock is covered in small knobs, and although the rock quality may not be quite as excellent (although still very good on the well traveled routes), it is a bit reminiscent of the rock in Tuolumne Meadows.

Getting There

From Boise, take Bogus Basin Road past the Bogus Basin ski resort. At the Nordic Lodge, take a left where the road turns from pavement to dirt. 3 or 4 miles up the dirt road you'll see the two large granite towers a couple hundred feet off the road to the right. You can't miss them. Park on the side of the road, and look for a small cairn which marks the start of the climber's trail to the rock.
