Suggested Page Improvements to Idaho

In order to better find and browse areas, Idaho could be separated into a few large areas where then all ~60 areas could be divided into. I'm suggested something like: eastern Idaho (Teton dam, heise area), south eastern Idaho (ross park, massacre rocks), southern Idaho (city, castle, dierkes), southwestern Idaho (black cliffs, swan falls), central Idaho (McCall, sawtooths, lemhis), and northern Idaho (panhandle crags, q'emiilin park)..

This solves the problems of having many tiny crags spread throughout the whole state instead of within smaller regional areas.

Also, there are two "slick rock" areas. One within Idaho and one within the McCall area (the more complete version). I'd suggest removing the slick rock under Idaho.

While Idaho is famous worldwide for potatoes, there is an abundance of quality climbing throughout the state some of which is world class like [[City of Rocks]]105739322 or [[Elephants Perch]]105905689 or newly on the radar, [[the Fins]]108134051.


[[105739322]] and its neighbor, [[105739331]], are the main destinations for out-of-state climbers. Both feature fantastic cragging in a beautiful setting. More recently, [[the Fins]]108134051 , with it's high quality vertical limestone, is attracting a lot of interest from climbers due to the large number of stellar 5.12 through 5.14d routes.


Also of significant interest are the rest of [[105905571]] near Stanley, the limestome climbing near [[Riggins]]109289537, and the basalt climbing of [[105886274]] near American Falls.


There are many, many more excellent places to climb in the state worth a visit if you are in the area. You can find everything from high quality sport climbing, to multi-pitch trad, to wild wilderness adventures and often you'll have your adventure to yourself and your party!


For ease of navigation the state is divided into 5 regions. North Idaho (Sandpoint, [[105838015]]), West Idaho ([[106012768]], [[106060666]]), Central Idaho ([[105905571]], [[108134051]]), South Idaho ([[105739322]], [[111981017]]) and East Idaho ([[105886274]], [[108167997]]).
