Routes as trad in Idaho

Rap anchor is webbing slung over a horn, bring extra webbing/cordalette in case existing anchor is in disrepair.

Mostly a finger crack with lots of surface rugiosity to help you out. The route eats Small to midsize gear up to about A #1. Nice fist crack at the top which can take larger pieces. Gear anchor. Walk off a 5.5 ramp to the right as you face the crack.

Solid hand crack on perfect granite. You will have to build a trad anchor in ample medium sized cracks at the top.

Climb a crack system to the left of a triple roof formation. Move To the right over the roof when you can and follow the crack to the top. Plenty of places to built a gear anchor. The guide booK says there are bolt an hors but we did not find any. There is an Excellent rap station to the climbers left on a huge ledge just left of Finer Niner.

Starts with a flaring hand crack on a bulge. Getting into this crack and past the bulge is the crux of the climb. After about 20 feet the difficulty eases up as the crack gets better and less flaring. This line has been described in guidebooks as a two pitch climb but if you have a 70 meter rope you can do it in one pitch. In fact if you have a 70 you should do it in one pitch because the crack is very straight and offers little opportunity to create much rope drag even without extending every piece. The last forty feet or so is a bit chossy but the rock quality for the first 100 feet is excellent. To get back down with one 70 you will need to scramble to the north side of the rock and find rap chains near the other routes located there.

Slab start to a bolt. Standard rack up to #2. Rap anchors.

The first several vertical moves are heady and unprotected until you reach the large overhead flake. Follow the flake to the left, underclinging with slabby feet until the upward curving flake takes you higer to the left, then to an easier slabby face with mostly crimpy moves the rest of the way. You may hear chirps and commotion from bats (or birds) in the flake so be carful of your fingers. Except for the flake and a few horns gear is pretty sparse so be confident about this climb. If you toprope it the gear setup is kind of complicated. You will need some long slings to extend down the slab to create a good toprope. You can climb up to or descend from the anchor by scrambling up the back gulley of the Wart.
