Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal raptor closures: Scary Canyon, Face Canyon, Highway Face, Steep Wall, Far Side, and Nixon Head (updated 3/15/24) Details

Adding new bolts, new anchors, and new routes at the Black Cliffs are currently NOT ALLOWED pending a BLM environmental assessment. Significant trail work is also on hold. Please contact the Boise Climbers Alliance with questions or for additional information

Description

Climb the corner and finger crack to the large ledge at mid-route. A series of positive but well spaced edges will take you the rest of the way to the anchors.

Location

50 feet left of Bologna Pony. The name of the route is spray-painted at its base.

Protection

A finger sized piece or two to get you to the top of the ledge at midheight, and then a #0 TCU or equivalent for the horizontal 8 feet above the ledge. From there you have 2 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
