car camp and rock climb - city of rocks (idaho) - June 13, 2017

City of Rocks is a mecca of climbing and my favorite place for unglaciated (grippy) granite. Varnished and pocketed granite is the name of the game here. The granite ages with an iron based varnish on it and when the varnish wears through, it forms pockets that wear faster than the varnish. The result is pockets with edges or just edges. There are so many routes here both bolted and trad, single and multipitch, and something for everyone. I have reserved site 52 and another participant has site 53 (nights of June 13, 14, and 15). Book a site soon if you would like to join me. Sites 54 and 55 are near the two sites we have booked and are also still available.
