Description

Located only ~20 miles or so from The City, this columnar basalt mini craig couldn't be more different in both style & geology. Although short, (20 meter) these climbs pack a punch for the grade and offer excellent climbing on bomber rock. Splitter jams, relative clean cracks and face hold offer a mini Devil's Tower experience right here in southern Idaho. Just under 2 dozen established routes are located here, first put up in the 70's with room for even more.

Although a 100% trad destination currently, there is potential for a bolted face climb or two in the future. Also, buy the guidebook, Idaho Underground. Support your local guidebook authors. Idaho Underground 2nd edition

For any questions or concerns about existing routes and hardware conditions, or establishing new routes, please reach out to Southern Idaho Climbing Coalition at info@climbsicc.com.

Getting There

Located North of the little town of Conner on Route 77, take the dirt road east at the top of the hill as you are leaving the town headed north. Right before the Weigh Station, turn right onto a dirt road, if you can't see the cliff from here, you are lost ;) Follow the dirt road, take a left at the fork and continue up the hill. Park about level in elevation as the cliff along the road (room for a car or two) or drive another 30 seconds around a bend and park here at a pullout with room for more.

Bushwack through the scrub for 15 minutes to the base of the climbs. The cliff faces southwest, and catches a lot of afternoon sun.

NOTE: Snakes! lots of rattle snakes can be encountered during the hike, and especially during your time below the cliff. This is not a place for dogs, and watch your feet all day long.
