Been a little slow around here, so I'll post up. Anybody else climbed at Ross Park in Pocatello?
Hesse and I climbed there recently. Fun! It's as close to a climbing gym outdoors as I can imagine. Picnic tables, manicured (and short) approaches, number routes (painted at the bottom), and well bolted. Wild. All right in the city.
Didn't get any pictures, because I was either climbing or belaying. Likely not a destination, but if your headed up that way, check it out. The climbing sorta reminded me of the limestone in American Fork, but seemingly more technical movement. (Basalt I think.)
We got great info from the seiclimbing.com site. A ton of routes for all levels. My only complaint was the routes are quite short, again though, ala a climbing gym.
