List of Climbs I've Done and 3 Trip Reports
Photo Trip Reports for
1st trip to the City: 4.1 days and >40 climbs
2nd trip to the City: 4 days and lots of climbs
3rd trip to the City: 10.5-day, 106-route detour on my move from WA to CO
Located in southern Idaho, the City of Rocks is a landscape of granite domes and spires, sage meadows, and aspen groves. It is a mecca of climbing. The granite here ages with an iron-based varnish on it, and when the varnish wears through, it forms areas that wear faster than the varnish, creating pockets and edges that are fun to climb. The majority of the routes have mixed protection (bolts and gear).
The first time I climbed in the City was in June 2014, for four days to start off a summer climbing road trip. I had so much fun that I came back two years later, in June 2016, yet again to kick off another summer of climbing. Then, three years later, on a move from Washington to Colorado, I realized I would be passing within miles of the City, and convinced my friend from Bellingham to join me for a climbing detour during my move, during which we climbed over 100 routes. I imagine I will be back again and again over the years.
On this page, I keep a list of the climbs I've done in the City of Rocks. I've also included trip reports for my June 2014, June 2016, and June 2019 trips to the City of Rocks.

Trip Report #1 for City of Rocks: 1st trip to the City: 4 Days and >40 Climbs at the City of Rocks
Dates: June 18-22, 2014 (Wed-Sun) & July 1, 2014 (Tue) Partners: Scott Smith (all days), Mick and Dave (July 1)Intro
I had just come to the end of a wonderfully intense two years grinding away on a Masters in Math, recently lined up a teaching job for the fall, and had a summer off in-between. So it was the perfect time to pack my Subaru full of gear and embark on an adventure! But where to head first? Washington was still quite rainy, the desert was already getting too hot to climb, and the Sierra might be a bit much after having spent the spring just cragging on weekends. I decided that a good destination would be the City of Rocks. Just north of the Utah-Idaho border, "The City" is a mecca of fun 1-pitch climbs on solid granite chunks riddled with splitter cracks and varnished features.
So I put a partner-post on MountainProject.com, and by the end of the day I had a partner named Scott. A week later I met Scott in the Bath Rock parking lot. After an initial bad-weather day (a snowstorm!), Scott and I spent four full days climbing in the City together. Scott turned out to be a perfect partner. Not only was he a really fun guy to be around, but he had climbed at the City since the pre-guidebook days and knew where all the best routes were. He was the ultimate City tour guide! Also, on our third and fourth days, Mick from Australia and Dave from England (two really cool guys who Scott had met in Indian Creek a couple of weeks previous) showed up and joined us for some City cragging fun. Mick and Dave are really good good climbers, so I got to follow their ropes up some of the City's great harder routes.
This trip report gives a brief summary of the routes Scott and I climbed and some random photos during our days in the City. We climbed a total of 42 different climbs and 47 pitches over 4.1 days. A pretty good trip, I'd say! Thanks Scott, Mick, and Dave for the fun times!
July 1 addition: I swung by the City a week later to climb one more day with Scott, Mick, and Dave; I added a route list and some photos to the end of this trip report.
Day 0 (June 18)
New climbs: 1; Total pitches climbed: 11. Rebar Route, Bath Rock, 4th It began snowing just as Scott and I met in the Bath Rock parking lot at 10am. So we chatted a bit, then scrambled up the Rebar Route on the back side of Bath Rock (ten heavy-gauge rebar handles were installed in the early 80’s on the backside of Bath Rock) for a murky yet tantalizing view of the City, and then Scott went to scope out some free camping while I headed for the wi-fi and coffee pot at the Tracy General Store in Almo. One more day to wait to begin the summer climbing adventure.

Day 1 (June 19)
New climbs: 8; Total pitches climbed: 112. Wheat Thin, Elephant Rock, 1p, 5.7, trad (led by Scott) A City classic climb up an arching white flake. This route was on my "must-do" list so we did it first!3. Conceptual Reality, The Gallstone, 1p, 5.9, trad-sport (led by Scott) Short crack to a short and well-bolted steep face above. We climbed this route as a quick detour after we descended the backside of Elephant Rock and were walking back around to the front-side climbs.4. Rye Crisp, Elephant Rock, 1p, 5.8, trad (led by Scott) Probably the coolest flake route at City of Rocks, a step up from Wheat Thin, with a fair amount of plug-and-go gear placements and laybacking if you so choose. Apparently lots of accidents occur at the lower crux. This was my favorite route of the day and favorite 5.8 of the trip.5. Columbian Crack, Elephant Rock, 1p, 5.7, trad (led by Steph) To get to the crack, chimney behind a boulder and climb up an ever-widening crack that eventually had me knee-jamming.6. Just Say No, Elephant Rock, 1p, 5.9, sport (led by Scott) Tricky start and up a blunt arête. The first bolt is high so Scott slung a chockstone as his first piece.7. New York is Not the City, Bumblie Rock, 1p, 5.10a, sport (led by Scott) Sporty jugs and pockets and a single crux near the top.8. Classic Route, The Lost Arrow, 2p, 5.7, trad (led by Scott) We were on our way to Stripe Rock, but couldn’t pass Lost Arrow spire by without climbing it. This is an exciting wandering route with several old pitons and a free-hanging rappel.9. Cruel Shoes, Stripe Rock, 3p, 5.7, sport (led by Steph and Scott) A very well-bolted three-pitch wander up a face. Did I mention well-bolted?

Day 2 (June 20)
New climbs: 12; Repeat climbs: 1 ; Total pitches climbed: 1310. Mystery Achievement, Super Hits Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.7, sport (led by Scott) A good juggy warm-up route. This route has been re-bolted, so it is not the R rating it used to be.11. Twist & Crawl, Super Hits Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.7, sport (toprope) Sparsely bolted arête with a nice finger crack at the top.12. Bloody Fingers, Super Hits Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.10a, trad (toprope) (climbed twice) Beautiful line, quality rock, varied and challenging moves. This City classic often has a line awaiting it, especially since it is top-ropable. Apparently several accidents have occurred on the bottom crux. So good, I had to climb again. 10a crack climbing is just pure fun.13. New Toy, Super Hits Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.10b, sport (toprope) Steep and thought-provoking face climbing just right of Bloody Fingers.14. Double Vision, Super Hits Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.10a, sport (toprope) This route has of shallow pockets which are great for the feet but not for the hands, so I did a lot of high-stepping and mantling.15. Intruding Dike, Super Hits Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.7, trad (led by Steph) A popular route that follows a laser-cut quartz dike on the south wall of the corridor. It eats 0.5 and 0.75 cams. The downclimb to the west is a bit tricky.16. Finer Niner, Provo Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.9, sport (led by Scott) A generic (though still fun) 5.9 sport climb.17. Tennish Anyone, Provo Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.10a, trad-sport (toprope) Crack start to a steep bolted face above.18. Triple Roofs, Provo Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.7, trad (toprope) This route was surprisingly fun and spicy. I would give it 3 stars and a solid 5.8 rating (instead of the 1 star and 5.7 rating in the guidebook). The climbing involves a lot of sporty moves entering and exiting cracks. Gear placements are not trivial.19. Adolescent Homosapien (aka Adolescent Homosexual), Decadent Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.7, trad (led by Steph) One of the most enticing lines on the wall. An easy crack climb up to a steep stemming crux just before the finish.20. Another Jay Goodwin Route (aka Abortions on Parade), Decadent Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.10c, trad (toprope) Sporty 10c climbing.21. Life Without Sex, Decadent Wall at Breadloaves, 1p, 5.11a, sport (toprope) A strenuous roof move (11a) followed by rather fun 5.9ish climbing up to steep finish (high 5.10) on small varnished edges. I would give this route more than just the single star it gets in the guidebook.

Day 3 (June 21)
New climbs: 11; Total pitches climbed: 1122. Rollercoaster, Bath Rock, 1p, 5.8+, sport (led by Scott and Mick) A great bolted warm-up route.23. Private Idaho, Bath Rock, 1p, 5.9, trad (led by Dave and Mick) 5.9 crack climbing fun. A bit thin for gear in the first section.24. Colossus, Bath Rock, 1p, 5.10c, sport (led by Scott, Dave, and Mick) One of the best and most popular 10’s in the City, with two sporty roof cruxes.25. Gemini, Bath Rock, 1p, 5.12a, sport (led by Dave and Mick) One of the most often-tried 12’s at the City. Dave and Mick did a great job leading it, and I pulled my way through all the moves, but with a few rests. The moves are all doable, just big!26. Coffee and Cornflakes, Bath Rock, 1p, 5.10a, sport (led by Mick and Dave) Juggy steep climbing on a varnished face.27. Donini’s Crack, Bath Rock, 1p, 5.10c, trad (led by Mick) Burley wide move entering the leaning hand-fist crack.28. Skyline, Morning Glory Spire, 1p, 5.8, trad (led by Scott) A beautiful/exciting/moderate and therefore quite popular line up Morning Glory Spire.29. Siesta, Morning Glory Spire, 1p, 5.11b, sport (led by Dave) Nice position on an arête with a difficult crux move (hard not to barn door). Impressive lead Dave!30. Fall Line, Morning Glory Spire, 1p, 5.10b/c, sport (led by Dave and Mick) A popular bolt-protected venture just right of Skyline.31. The Pygmies got Stoned, Elephant Rock, 1p, 5.10a, sport (led by Dave and Mick) A somewhat generic but still quite fun 10a face climb.32. Pretzel Logic to Pocatello Punk, Elephant Rock, 1p, 5.10d, sport (led by Dave) A somewhat contrived bolted route. Dave took the bold right-hand variation near the top through a flaring squeeze/crack. (“It was right hard, that!” says Dave). My small size allowed for a knee-bar at the crux.

Day 4 (June 22)
New climbs: 10; Repeat climbs: 1; Total pitches climbed: 1133. Funky Bolt, Parking Lot Rock, 1p, 5.9, trad (led by Dave) The route has funky gear placements and a funky move near a funky bolt. I’d call it 5.9+ for sure. Super fun though.34. Just Another Pretty Face, Parking Lot Rock, 1p, 5.10d, sport (led by Dave) Brave lead to and over and along a lip, to a nice final face.35. Tow Away Zone, Parking Lot Rock, 1p, 5.10a, trad (led by Mick) Cruxy start to an I-could-hand-jam-up-this-for-miles crack.36. Delay of Game, Parking Lot Rock, 1p, 5.8, sport (led by Scott) Easy 5.8 face climbing with a nice position.37. Batwings, Parking Lot Rock, 1p, 5.8, trad (led by Scott) This popular moderate route stole a star from “Delay of Game” next door (both are 3 stars in the guide, but I’d give Batwings 4 of the 6 stars for its greater variety and challenge).38. Deez Guys, Slabbage Patch, 1p, 5.10a, sport (led by Scott, Dave, and Mick) 5.6 jugs with 5.11 overhanging angle = 5.10a fun. The character of this route is a limestone climb, just with granite holds.39. I Can’t Believe It, Slabbage Patch, 1p, 5.10a, sport (led by Mick and Dave) The route climbs a smooth brown and white mottled wall and goes through a roof. Heel hook!40. Mystery Bolter, Transformer Corridor, 1p, 5.9, sport (led by Scott) Up a slot to face climbing through dishes. This is a long route and the guide warns that two ropes are needed to descend – we busted out Scott’s 80m rope and were able to just make the rappel back down to the ground.41. Chomping at the Bit, Transformer Corridor, 1p, 5.11a, sport-trad (led by Dave) Good stoppers in upper cracks. This was my favorite 5.11a we climbed at the City on this trip.42. Bumblie Takes a Tumblie, Bumblie Rock, 1p, 5.11a, sport (led by Dave) Lots of big and dynamic moves, a good route to do while still fresh. Dave led this route in the full sun and after a full day of climbing, which was quite impressive.Last Route. Wheat Thin, Elephant Rock, 1p, 5.7, trad (led by Steph) This City Classic was the first climb of the trip and as we drove past Elephant Rock at the end of the day we decided it only appropriate that it also be our last. Scott had led it the first time, so I led it this time. A great route to end a great trip. I’ll be back to climb it again someday I’m sure.

Bonus Day! (July 1)
New climbs: 7; Total pitches climbed: 7When my 4.1-day City of Rocks adventure with Scott came to an end, I wasn't ready for it to be over. There were still so many routes to climb in the City! Plus I enjoyed hanging out with Scott and Mick and Dave. But I had other climbing adventures to pursue (namely, Lone Peak just out of Salt Lake City). But a week later, on my way out of Utah and back into Idaho (now headed towards the Sawtooths), I swung by City of Rocks found Scott, Mick, and Dave still there camped just where I'd left them a week previous! So I climbed another day at the City with them. Bonus!
43. Squall Line, Weather Wall, 1p, 5.10b, sport (led by Scott, Dave, and Mick) This climb was pretty sustained and I found it a bit tricky reading the moves.44. High Pressure System, Weather Wall, 1p, 5.10a, sport (led by Scott, Dave, and Mick) A generic 10a sport climb.45. Thunder Ridge, Weather Wall, 1p, 5.10a, sport (led by Dave and Mick) Varied moves with a non-sport-climb feel.46. Storm Front, Weather Wall, 1p, 5.11b, sport (toprope) One crux move over a roof.47. Yellow Wall, Yellow Wall, 1p, 5.9, trad (led by Scott) A unique and classic stemming exercise up the steep, colorful face. Really fun!48. Patina Turner, Yellow Wall, 1p, 5.11b, trad-sport (led by Dave) Technical moves up a steep and smooth granite face with incuts, with a mix of bolts and small pro.49. King of Suede, Yellow Wall, 1p, 5.10c, trad (led by Mick) Gotta love crack climbs!

Trip Report #2 for City of Rocks: 2nd trip to the City: 4 Days and Lots of Climbs at the City of Rocks
Dates: June 12-15, 2016 (Sun-Wed) Partners: Jeff Lodas (Days 1-3), Terry Price (Day 4)Intro
When the school year ends and I finish a marathon of grading, I am always anxious to climb. But mid-June weather is notoriously iffy in Washington. So where to go? The worthy candidates: Smith Rock (but for some reason I don't enjoy the climbing there), Yosemite (awesome but pretty long drive), or City of Rocks (super fun and reachable in a very long day of driving). So City of Rocks it was!
On this trip I climbed at the City of Rocks for 4 days with 2 new climbing partners, both whom I planned to join on future trips that summer. For the first 3 days, I climbed with Jeff Lodas. We enjoyed each other's company and climbed several of the 5.10-5.11 classic climbs in The City, such as Animal Cracker, Harvest, Thin Slice, Morning Glory, Double Cracks, Crack of Doom, and more.... On the 4th day, Terry Price and I climbed the 2 popular routes on Stienfell's Dome (Theatre of Shadows and Sinocranium). It was a fun and successful trip to The City. But so much yet to climb. I'll be back.
The following trip report summarizes the climbs I did on this trip to The City.

Trip Report #3 for City of Rocks: 3rd trip to the City: 105-Route Detour at the City of Rocks on my Move from WA to CO
Dates: June 15-25, 2019 Partners: Will Maness (Day 1), Dow Williams (Days 1-3), Braden Downey (Days 4-10.5)Intro
In June 2019, I moved from Bellingham, Washington to Boulder, Colorado, as I was to start a PhD in Applied Mathematics at CU Boulder in the Fall. After scoping out all of the moving options, I had decided that both the cheapest and easiest option was to move my stuff via a U-Pack moving container. But it would take about 10 days for U-Pack to get my stuff from Bellingham to Boulder, and I could make the 1,400-mile drive in 22 hours. Then it dawned on me that the route from Bellingham to Boulder passed right by City of Rocks, located at almost exactly the halfway point of the drive. It was the perfect opportunity to stop at the City of Rocks for a week to wait for my belongings to make it to Boulder.
I put the bug in the ear of my friend Braden in Bellingham, and it didn't take much convincing for him to join me for a week in the City. A bonus of the trip was that a few of my favorite people—Jorge and Joanne Urioste and Dow Williams—were at City for their annual trip there. In my typical fashion of doing the drive at night and at one push so as to maximize the climbing days, I squeezed in three days climbing with Dow before Braden arrived. Dow has climbed an impressive number of routes in the City, so we targeted more obscure routes he had yet to do, but most of them were quite good. It's always rewarding to find a 1-star route that actually deserves 3 stars. On the first day climbing with Dow, a climber named Will Maness joined us (more accurately, I joined Dow and Will), and I made a new climbing contact for some summer adventures. Awesome! Then Braden arrived, and we proceeded to climb 7.5 more days, climbing everything from classic 5.7-5.8 moderates to hard 5.11 clip-ups and cracks. We were climbing so many awesome routes a day that I got a bit overwhelmed with the idea of going through photos and writing up my list at the end of the trip that I began to make evening forays to a pullout about 15 minutes from Almo, where I tapped into a cell signal and hotspotted my way onto my website. Thanks Braden for putting up with my incessant need to record the day's adventures. And for being an awesome partner in general - I couldn't have gotten to my 100-route goal with anyone else!
All in all, I climbed for 10.5 days, racking up 106 routes and 125 pitches. What a trip!
The following trip report summarizes the climbs I did on this trip to The City.
