Trip Report
Three days of life in the City
Friday October 21, 2011 3:42pm
I love the City of Rocks, Idaho....for me the JT of the Intermountain West. What a wonderful place to camp, enjoy your companions and climb on quality rock. The friendly and helpful locals/climbers are just icing on a great sweet cake. Here's a brief photo show of our recent time there with my oldest son and his future wife. Business in our worlds may suck but life is great!

Excellent!...Hm, I just figured out the name of that thing Apolobamba & I TRed. Your TowaWay Zone pic shows the weird part nicely. I thought it was kinda hard & weird, but Donini cruised it.
Anyway, TFPU, eh? Love The City.....:-)

Captain, that Towaway Zone got me this time. I've done it over the years no problem but this time popped off at the crux just to prove I suppose, "the older I get the better I was". Fun time there, cheers!
