Climbing Routes

Box Canyon is located in the Lemhi Range of Idaho, and it has routes with height that ranges from 20-500 feet. The lines are on good solid, gripping limestone with a lot of rugged and sharp rocks. Climbers discovered the area in the mid 1990's and created about 30 routes before the BLM decided to stop them, mainly because it's a Wilderness Study Area. So no additional climbs are allowed to be established here. The Shade Wall is the big wall to the right of the Narrows, and it features two multi-pitch routes. To get there from Howe, you'll go east for 2.5 miles on Highway 33 and turn left (north) on a paved road (1300 W). Turn right onto 3800 N off 1300 W, and then turn left immediately onto 1200 W. From there, you'll follow a dirt road to an intersection, keep going straight and follow the rugged dirt road to the mouth of the canyon.
