The Top 3 Peaks for Rock Climbing in Idaho
Super Slabs
Super Slab, also known as the Redfish Slab, provides excellent rock climbing in Idaho. You can easily access the trailhead by taking the Redfish Lake shuttle boat. About two miles into your hike, you’ll find a wooden boardwalk, where you will continue until you see the faint climbers trail to your right. From there, it’s just 200 yards to the base of the slab! There are eight climbing routes here, making this one of the best areas to train for your rock climbing adventure on some of the more complex treks in the area.
Elephant’s Perch
The Elephant’s Perch is one of the best rock climbing summits in the Sawtooths. This massive piece of stone is also accessible by way of the Redfish Lake shuttle boat. Once you disembark the shuttle, a three-mile hike to the base of the rock through Redfish Canyon awaits you. There are many routes you can travel along to reach the peak from the base camp area, but we recommend using Sawtooth Mountain Guides for the best experience. Trust us; you won’t want to miss out on this Idaho rock climbing adventure!
Warbonnet Peak
Warbonnet Peak provides an incredible Idaho rock climbing experience deep in the Sawtooth Mountains. It is about eight miles southwest of Redfish Lake, making it one of the more remote hikes you can access with Sawtooth Mountain Guides. Throughout this trek, you’ll encounter over 2,000 feet of scrambling and a short portion of technical climbing. While the technical portion isn’t too difficult with a guide, dangling 1,000 feet over ground on the final summit stretch. It’s a tiring climb, but the views from the peak are well worth the effort.
