Idaho

City of Rocks, Idaho.

This place is amazing! This place is characterized by the battle between bolts and traditional climbing. In The City, bolts are numerous, but they are in the worst places. Some routes are over bolted, and some have runouts with potential groundfalls at every clip. The place is even so screwy that there are sometimes no rappel bolts, due to the criticism climbers were getting in the 80's for developing sport climbing.

Come check this place out, because it is a slabby crackhouse playground!
