Description 

The party box can be hard to find going in, but you'll know it when you get there, and you'll know why it's called the party box. Sheltered from the wind from all sides, the party box provides some short but fun ascents. The rock is sedimentary but very solid. A small campfire glowing off of the four surrounding walls provides ample light for night climbs.


Getting There 

5 minutes north of Blanding on Hwy 191
Traveling north on 191, the road will begin to curve left and up after crossing the dam at Recapture. U-turn and park on the left side of the highway where the big rocks are closest to the road. Cross the little ditch and walk up the hill toward the rocks. Try to find a narrow chasm between two tall rocks. Though it is not the only way in, the chasm might be the easiest way to find the Party Box. You may have to look around a bit, though it is only 50 yards from the road. Don't worry - you will know when you are in the party box.
