The Fins, IDAHO

The Fins, IDAHO

In remote southeastern Idaho is a truly novel Dolemite limestone crag called The Fins. The thin, technical, and sustained climbing is somewhat similar to Voralpsee (Switzerland), although tiny pockets are more common than edges...and The Fins reside in a high desert-like zone rather than a lush forest. Anyway, it's a special place...and definitely NOT an urban sport crag (the nearest water, restroom, and store is almost an hour away). Here's a short video of a classic Fins' 5.12a named Martini.
