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

The crux is near the middle of the climb, and the ascent is a bit precarious for the next several feet.

Location

Starting at the left side of the Short Cliffs (from the bottom), the Mystery Route is about two thirds of the way to the right side. The identifying feature is the anchors being a jump to the left of the bolt line.

Protection

Four bolts to chains. The bolts are in a nearly straight line, the chains are to the left. It is very difficult to safely set up a toprope. A quickdraw can be used on the last bolt as a directional to make this more safe.
