Routes in Boise for selected grade

Lieback crack in a dihedral for 35 feet then pull to the left of a roof and finish on slab to bolted anchors. Very physical route for the grade.

Hand to fist for most of the climb, until you get to the big ledge. Finger locks Past vertical with sparse feet will get you up the last 12 feet or so to the anchors. Bigger fingers will work against you on this section.

Double dihedral which climbs very well with chimney moves once the surface holds start to thin out after the midpoint of the climb. The double dihedral peters out as you approach the anchors for a stellar and very physical finish. The final move is a slabby mantel on thin finger holds with the dearth of footholds as the main primary problem. A stellar but physical move once you figure it out. Something like four bolts but the entire line would protect well with mostly small cams.

Mountain project describes this route as 45'. I top rope soloed this twice with a 40 meter rope and reached the ground with about 5 feet of rope to spare. This tells me that the route is significantly longer then 45', probably at least 55 feet. 409, the route to the right, ends on the same anchors and so is the same length at 55 feet.

This route is not listed in the Idaho Underground guide but the book does show undesignated anchors just to the left of the Lightening Crack anchors and to the right of the Steep Disorder anchors. The apparent line follows the off-width crack which veers to the left of the same roof where lightning crack veers to the right of the roof. The anchors are very accessible from the top of the cliff to set up as a toprope. Some larger pieces will be needed for the OW section, a #4, a #5, a #6, & either a #7 or the lime colored Big Bro will work. After the OW section normal size pieces, .3 to .75, will finish the job. The Boise Climbs guide lists this route with no anchors, but new anchors with chains have apparently been added since the book was published.

Follow crack to small roof ( crux). Protects well.

Fantastic route, challenging moves. One of the better 5.9's at the cliffs.

Off Width crack (5.8 to 5.9) for 40 feet or so, mostly #4 and #5 cam to protect. Second crack inside the off-width provides smaller protection (.5 to #2). Crux is a bulge/roof section just below the chains. This crux section runs fist to off fist with no feet below the over hang. Protect the bottom of the crux with a #6. The upper crack will take a #6 and a #4.

Spectacular climb. Thin crack. Great but somewhat difficult bulge moves to get to the chains. Fantastic climb.

Shares anchors with sweet Adene

Spicy bolt placement and sometimes runout climbing. Several hard moves have ledge fall potential. Plenty of nut placements Are possible though to make your climbing more secure. This was originally climbed as a trad route.

Begin at an overhead cave, usually starting on the left side of the cave. Traverse polished slab with few holds, toward the right above the cave to reach the hand crack. The crack widens to Near fist size as you move toward the chains, which are hidden by a bulge. Lots of own guano everywhere, which is why i gave it one star.

Spicy, boulders start. P1 is a bulge midway up.

Long traverse near the carved grafitii.

Fun mostly easy traverse with a couple of more difficult moves here and there. Can top out at about 15 feet in several places. You can start anywhere or in either direction. The whole traverse continues for up to 100 feet. Landing is mostly in soft dirt with several large embedded blocks easily protected with crash pads.
