Description
High quality granite bouldering close to Hailey, Idaho with some epic views. It’s a bit of a hike between boulders and honestly the approaches suck. Steep sandy hiking through heinous cheatgrass is the only way up (at least until trails are established), but the reward is worth the effort. You’ll be surprised by the quality granite. The hillside (once again, epic views) where the boulders are situated is South facing. Best in Spring and Fall. The boulders are on private land owned by the Wood River Land Trust. The land is open to the public year round. This area is brand new and still being developed. As a result many projects exist, as well as entire boulders that are untouched.
Getting There
- From the center of Hailey, ID (Main St & Bullion St) drive west on Bullion, which becomes Croy Creek Rd, for about 4.5 miles. Just before the road turns to dirt take a left on Rock Creek Rd. Drive past some houses and take the first dirt road on the left that’s not a driveway. Take this somewhat rough road about .7 miles to a saddle where the “access yes” sign is located. Turn left here and drive another mile on this somewhat rough, somewhat steep, somewhat narrow 4x4 road (with one cruxy section at the very end) to an obvious flat spot (your Subaru should make it just fine). If climbing at the upper West boulders such as Knob Hill, it’s possible to continue up the steep narrow 4x4 road (not necessarily recommended) to a higher parking area. Or just hike up the hillside. If going to the East boulders hike the ridge up to the East crag and then traverse the hillside to the boulders. Bedrock is by far the easiest to access (10 min hike straight uphill) and one of the highest quality clusters of bouldering problems.
