A DAM BOULDERING GUIDELower teton River canyon, IdahoLocated below the old Teton Dam site near Newdale, Idaho, the Lower Teton River Canyon offers a collection of er-ratic boulders and small walls on the south side of the river that are perfect for bouldering. Early exploration of boul-dering possibilities started in the fall of 2004 wherein several dozen problems throughout the canyon were climbed. Spring 2010 brought a resurgence of in-terest to the canyon and new problems were being established on a daily basis. Increased interest in bouldering and the rising number of boulder problems are the reason this print-out exists.

The landscape in the canyon is unique and full of mystery. Just imagine what 800 billion gallons of water rushing down river in a single episode must have been like. Without this disaster,

the bouldering would not exist. What appears to be a barren wasteland when viewed from the dam at the south rim of the canyon is in fact a recreational para-dise. The more time spent walking the sculpted landscape will open your eyes to the magical environment it truly is.

As for the bouldering itself, you can ex-pect the typical characteristics of Volca-nic Tuff: abrasive and somewhat friable. The stone is generally good, but being composed of volcanic ash, one must expect things to break. All manner of boulder problems exist: short problems, serious highballs, overhanging powerful problems, and crimp-laden steep slabs. Something for everyone can be found at the Dam Boulders!

Directions:From Highway 33 east of Newdale, Idaho, turn north onto the Teton Dam Road (12000 N); signage for the “Teton Dam Site” will be your guide. At the end of the pavement, turn right onto an obvious dirt road. Follow this road along the canyon rim, staying left as it forks, and park near the turnaround point just above the white Bureau of Reclamation gate. This gate blocks driving access down the switchbacks and into the canyon.

Walk down the road past the white gate to the first switchback (a right turn in the road) and continue straight, leaving the road to follow a climber’s trail which passes a power pole to its left. As the

next switchback in the dirt road comes in from the right, continue walking slightly left down the grassy hillside, passing right of the next power pole, then down rocky slabs until you reach the bottom of the canyon just uphill (south) from the big pond. Continue west and within 100 yards, the Quarry will appear on your left.

To reach the Big Dam Boulders (25 minutes from the parking lot), simply walk the dirt road downstream (SW) from the Quarry. It may seem like a burden to walk so far but just remem-ber most things worthwhile require effort! You can always mountain bike the approach.

season:Spring and autumn are best. Summer is usually too hot, but early morning or late evening sessions can be good. Many of the sunny winter days can also provide excellent conditions and will likely offer the best temperatures for those sloper problems.

A few things to consider:Ticks and mosquitoes are a serious problem in the spring and early sum-mer. During the summer months, the boulders are a haven for rattlesnakes. . . BIG ones! Think before you leap! It’s also a good idea to check the tops of the boulders before blindly reaching up for the awaiting fangs of a rattlesnake.

There are a fair number of highball boul-der problems in the Canyon. PLEASE do it right. Come prepared with multiple pads and good spotters. The last thing you want to do is hike out, or hike some-one out of the canyon with a broken ankle, leg, or arm. It’s serious business, so take it seriously. With that being said, a pad for any bouldering is a good idea.

Please use A LOT of chalk. If you can see bare flesh on your palms, you need

more chalk! Without chalk, the holds will quickly grease up, leaving polished and slick stone void of necessary tex-ture. Chalk balls are great for the gym, but don’t do jack for bouldering outside! Fill your bucket or chalk bag with crushed block chalk. Also, brush the holds often with a nylon bristle brush. DON’T USE METAL BRUSHES; you will brush off the very important texture required for gripping slopers.

The canyon is home to many types of recreation: fishing, 4x4 rock crawling, shooting stuff, and on occasion, rag-ing parties. Climbers are not the only recreationalists in the Canyon. Do your part to keep the canyon clean. Pack out your trash even if other canyon visitors do not.


Difficulty Ratings:The climbs are rated using a “V” scale from V0 to V9, where 0 is the easiest and 9 is the most difficult. Some of the climbs are not rated because they haven’t been climbed enough times to establish a rating. Some climbs are

classified as projects; this means a new climb has been discovered and not yet rated/named.

Recommended climbs:Climbs identified by a star (*) are rec-ommended by the author.

UNDERstANDING syMBOLs


POWER BOX BOULDERsAt the bottom of the switchbacks where the dirt road crosses the north end of the pond are some big electric power boxes. Just south-west from the power boxes are a few boulders. These erratics are the easiest to reach, which made them the subjects of early explo-ration in 2004, yielding some fun problems. There are other easier problems here not mentioned below.

heather lords working the hairdresser on fire at the switcheroo boulder

switcheroo Boulder:1. bre hammel V? Climb up and right along the left edge of the south face using crimps and the left edge of the boulder.

2. switcheroo V2* Climb the right edge of the south face using the right edge and with crimps/edges on the face. Top out at the apex of the boulder. This corner was the first official boulder problem from ’04, a classic.

3. tweedle dee V4* Low start in the scoop on the east side of the boulder by using a jug at the lip of the scoop. Traverse up and left con-necting with and finishing on #2.

4. hairdresser on Fire V5 This problem is located on the north-east corner of the boulder. Sit start. Pull up to the lip where the overhang turns to slab, then figure out a way onto and up the slab to the top. Good luck!

Middle Boulders:1. circuit breaker V? Inside the cave-like feature formed by the two overhanging boulders are sev-eral short sit start problems. Try to span the gap from one boulder to the other!

Mother Board:

1. roll with it V1/2 Climb the steep slab on the north side of the boulder with liberal use of the right trending sloping rail system that cuts left to right across the face.

The southern-most erratic of the Power Box Boulders


thE QUARRyJust southwest of the pond near the base of the dam is a long and tiered hillside resembling a stone quarry. Many of these problems are tall requiring adequate padding for the landings. Slabby to ver-tical and crimpy best describe the bouldering at the Quarry.

diagram of the quarry: see explanation below

1. hot laVa V3* Start right hand in the pocket. Go up with liberal use of the left edge and perhaps a dyno to the lip. Top out.

2.the thing that only eats hippies V5* Located just left of the main Quar-ry on the hill side. Look for an overhang-ing boulder with an obvious man made landing zone below it. Start underneath on the far right side. Pull onto the lip and traverse left to the very apex of the boulder, then mantle out. The big flat top boulder under-neath is off.

3.not cho cheese V1 Climb small crimps on this steep slab.

4. cool ranch V3 Can you figure this one out? Sit start and follow the right edge of the Doritos Chip. Holds on #3 are off.

5. baby slab V0 Hike up the low angle slab.

6. biggy slabs V? Tall slab climb.

7. Jack in the crack V2* Climb the obvious inside corner crack. Not as easy as it looks.

8. through the neVer (proJect) V? Underclings to half pad crimps. Very, very, very difficult! Don’t fall off the left side of the landing zone!

9. killing oF a Flash boy (proJect) V?* Start with the left hand in the thin horizontal crack and either a crimp or, if you can reach it, the pocket with your right hand. Pull up to another shallow pocket, followed by a big move to a slop-ing edge near the lip, then the lip itself. Dam hard for just a few moves!

10. the Floor is liquid nitrogen

11. heather slab

12. lumber Jill V1 A tall one! Follow a line of good holds up the left side of this left facing dihedral. Down climb the slab on the backside of the dihedral.

13. lumber Jack V2 /V4* Sit start for the full V4 value! Follow a line of campus board crimps trending right to left on the face of the di-hedral. SO GOOD!

14. bazooka Joe V4* A classic outside corner. Multiple pads and a few spotters would be a good idea for this one!

15. Vendetta V1 Tall techy face climb. Start on #4 then move right.

16. sippin’ on sunshine V3 Fun slabby face climb to the right of #15. Make sure you pad the tall block on the right side of the landing zone!

17. long black cadillac V7* A hard move into the pocket. A long pull from the pocket to a small edge followed by another long move to a narrow horizontal shelf. Move a bit right and top out. CLASSIC!

18. seVen deadly sins V4/V5* Climb the outside corner to the right of #17 by using crimps to the left and the corner itself. The crack and anything right of the crack is off.

19. dirtycrack

19b. baby steps V? Just right of the Dirty Crack is a slabby face with a protruding shelf near the bottom. Crimps are the name of the game for this dangerous tall problem. *Beware of the shelf if you fall.

20. sidewinder V3 A super fun lip traverse on the right side of the upper most boulder. When viewed from below, this boulder looks like the head of a rattlesnake.

21. hang the dJ V? A fun and unique problem. Climb the wall under-neath the capstone; reach the big hold on the face of the capstone itself, then pull up and right on big holds. Airy!

22. dinosaur Jr V? Chad Witbeck’s slabtastic master-piece. Techy and thin!

LILLy’s BOULDERJust down canyon from the Quarry and about twenty feet south of the dirt road is Lilly’s Boulder. It’s the single erratic with a thin seam cutting across its southwest face.

starting up lily’s man child

1. Joel’s traVerse V3 Lip traverse from left to right ending at the big jug on the right corner (start hold for Lilly’s Man-Child). This problem is on the west side of the boulder next to the dirt road.

Additionally, hang from the lip, heel-hook, then try to mantle onto the slab above! A laughable exercise to say the least!

2. lilly’s man-child V6* Start on the big flat-topped west corner hold. Move up and right, travers-ing the top edge/rail of the southwest face. Burly!

3. sunset seam V? Open Project. Start as for #2, but instead of moving up to the top rail, traverse the thin seam cutting across the southwest face.

4. simon says V4 On right side of the southwest face, start with an undercling on the bottom side of the low roof. Pull straight up and follow the right corner of the boulder up to the apex. This was the first problem on Lilly’s in ’04.

5. lilly’s mantle V2/3* Same start as #2, but instead of moving up and left, heel-hook and mantle onto the shelf, then up. A very cool mantle problem!


GOthIc BOULDERThe Gothic Boulder sits high on the hillside directly south of Brad Pit. It can be identified by a huge dark roof with an orange streak on the headwall above. Also visible is the man-made stone landing zone at the base of the boulder.

1. bauhaus V2/3 On the left side of the boulder, climb crimps to big edges on the right side of this left facing wall.

2. bela lugosi V6* THE HIGHBALL of highballs. Bring

multiple pads and spotters. Tricky start. Undercling and toe cam in the back of the roof. Make the span out to the good rail along the lip of the boulder. Follow the rail to the right corner and then go up from there. Take care to not collapse the edge of the landing zone.

BRAD PItThis is a small erratic boulder about 70 yards southwest of Lilly’s on the southern edge of the gravel bar and is easily identified by the small gravel pit underneath the east side of the boulder.

1. JenniFer aniston V2* Sit start down in the Pit and climb out the left side of the overhang using good holds.

2. angelina Jolie V2/3 Start on the far right side of the overhang in a little nook. Traverse the lip moving leftward to connect with #1.

DRIftWOOD BOULDER

1. the tick V2/3 On the west side of the boulder. Sit start. Move up and left to a big ledge, then top out.

cEMENt PIPEJust south of the Cement Pipes, across the ravine is a small over-hang with a white, west facing wall to its right.

1. oVerhang

2. the white wall

fLAt tOPWalk west from the Cement Pipe, either on the road or in the ra-vine. High on the hillside is an obvious flat topped boulder. This is an obscure place with a couple of good, easy routes.

1. Flat top leFt V1 Sit start right of the cave. Pull up and over the small overhang on jugs. Continue straight up to the top.

2. Flat top Face V1 Big jugs over a small overhang on the north side (facing the river) of the tier directly below the Flat Top Boulder.

3. tree surgeon V? This is located below the Flat Top Boulder near the edge of the wash. A short problem hidden behind a tree. Start low with the undercling and move up and over the lip using pockets and crimps.


stEAk BOULDERThis is the big boulder a few feet to the east of the Mothership. The west side looks like a big raw steak complete with a nice marbling effect!

MOthERshIPFrom the Cheese Wedge walk east past the Chamber and follow the big water pipe until it disappears underground. Directly in front of you is the Mothership.

1.chad sr. V3* Climb the right edge of the flat and red west face next to the Mother-ship Boulder. Stand start with a shallow pocket right hand and an edge/pocket/crack thingy with your left hand. Move up and right to the lip, then up and left along the lip to the top of the boulder.

1. driVing rocketships V2 Climb the southeast corner of the boulder. Sit start using slopers. Pull up and use good edges and a pocket to reach the lip of the boulder.

2. chad’s traVerse V2 Start as for #1 and traverse right, topping out at the apex of the boulder.

3. the mothership V?* This project is located on the un-derside of the huge overhung wall.

4. alien V? This project traverses the right side of the overhang.

5. honest abe V3 Sit start near the bottom right side of the cave. On the bottom lip, start with a mono and a crimp. Go straight up.

6. uFology V2 A short problem with a compres-sion start on the west corner of the boulder.

Just east of the Big Dam Boulder/Chick Rock/Walrus cluster along the base of the hillside is this obvious vertical wedge shaped boul-der.

the cheese wedge climbs

thE chEEsE WEDGE

1. goat cheese V2 Sit start using slanting edges and crimps. Go straight up using similar holds.

2. sakura V2* A classic arête problem! Sit start using crimps, a thin foothold and a heel hook. Tic-tac up crimps on either side of the corner to the jug, then make some big pulls to the top.

3. Feta V4 Sit start using a sloping rail 2’ right of Sakura. Go straight up using edges and slopers. Holds from Sakura are off.

4. the big cheese V6* Same sit start as for Feta, but move up and right across the face to a side pull and big finish move to the lip.

5. corey king (proJect) V? In the gap on the south side of the wedge. Slanting edges and crimps to jugs.


thE chAMBERAbout 50 yards east of the Cheese Wedge in a little nook at the base of the hillside is the Chamber. If you have reached the big, exposed water pipe, you have gone too far.

heather lords and the chamber of secrets

1. chamber oF secrets V2/3 Start inside the nook and climb the overhanging arête on the left side of the Chamber. Near the lip of the boulder, move left to a big jug on the outside corner, then mantle out the top. The back wall is off.

2. chambermaid secrets V? Climb #2 to the big sloper, then slap behind you and transition to and top out on #1.

3. chambermaid V8* One of the best boulder problems in the Lower Teton River Canyon, the Chambermaid is more akin to the style of bouldering found in the Southeastern United States. Sit start with your left hand on the inside rail and your right hand low on the outside corner. Slopers, undercling, and difficult feet will get you up the overhanging wall to good edges above. The back wall and #1 boulder are off limits. Get yer suthern’ sloper game on!

thE cAtAcOMBsHike up and around the left side of San Callisto to reach the Crypt. Take note to pad the back-breaking edge of the boulder below the top-outs. A broken hold or an unexpected fall will send you back-first onto this edge. Take it seriously.

the crypt:

the Lower catacombs:

1. ditch digger V3 Sit start on the left edge of the face. A straight up line that connects and finishes with #3.

2. scream, dracula scream V 3/4* Sit start in the middle of the wall using two crimps below a small roof. Pull up and right to a good edge, then back left, connecting with #3 for a couple of holds. At mid-height, make a long move up and right to an obvious thin brick like edge below the lip. Go straight up from there!

3. rocket From the crypt V2* Start on the far right edge of the wall by using the big horn/jug feature. Climb big edges up and left across the face to a big flat topped plate feature. Then, make a big pull straight up to finger buckets and top out with style.

1. san callisto V9* Start at the very back of the feature using the undercling. Pinch and slap your way out the roof to better holds above the lip. The boulders to the right are off.

2. (open proJect)

3. (riley eVerett rollins proJect)

4. the coFFin lid V5 This is a cool lip traverse! Start underneath on the big block. Pull out to a big jug over the lip and either campus left along the lip or use your feet. Get to the left corner and go up! Pad the big edge under the left corner.

starting on the coffin lidlower catacombs with the crypt in the background


chIck ROcksThe main Chick Rock erratic is on the east end of The Big Dam Boulder. The Little Chick Rock is the small erratic to the left of Chick Rock.

1. little chick rock V0/2 Sit start and climb jugs up this short over-hung boulder.

2. chick rock north Face V0 A fun boulder for beginners. You can climb the left edge, the center of the face, or the right edge on the north side of the boulder. All are about the same difficulty.

3. it’s not easy being a hobbit V3 100 feet north toward the dirt road from Chick Rocks is this single boulder problem. On the north side is a short roof/lip problem. Start deep in the hole. Use holds under the roof to move out to the lip. Traverse the lip and top out.

thE BIG DAM BOULDER1. leFt side loVe handles V3* Low sit start near the little “cave.” Climb slopers and good holds along the edge of the boulder all the way around the nose and topping out on #3.

2. loVe, hate, loVe V2 Sit start using an in-cut edge and a smooth pocket. A big dyno to the high-est jug on #3, then up to the lip and top out.

3. loVe handles V2* Sit start using the vertical pocket on the right side of the obvious corner. Pull up and onto the left trending jug rail. Top out in the “V” notch.

3b. Variation loVe nation V? Start as with #3, but go straight up the corner connecting to and finishing with #4.

4. dam nation V6* Start as with #5, but move left using shallow pockets. Reach the corner and follow it to the top. HARD.

5. dam the man V3* Sit start using a large in-cut edge on the left side of an inside corner. Move straight up to a pocket, again on the left side of the corner. Then make a BIG move up to good edges and mantle out the top. Pad the rock behind the route. If you blow the crux you’ll land

on it!

6. Just another dam sit start V3* Low sit start on the slanting rail by matching hands and using a heel hook. Move up to the big pocket then traverse left using edges and pockets below the lip. Top out with #3, #4, or most com-

monly #5.

7. the big dam pump V? Start on the far right side of the south face (next to the Walrus Boulder). Traverse left along the lip and top out as for #6.

the big dam boulder and surrounding erratics offer the highest concentration of diversity in style and difficulty in the lower teton canyon.


thE WALRUsThe Walrus is the big erratic next to the Big Dam Boulder on its south side.

diagram of the walrus: see explanation below

1. the walrus V1 Start low using crimps, moving upward to pockets. Then right onto the slab before reaching the top.

2. snake eyes V4* AWESOME! Sit start far right with hands in the horizontal crack. Move up and left, following the sloping rail system. Make a hard move from the sloping rail into two side by side pockets (snake eyes) and then continue up from there.

Problems 3 and 4 are located just around the corner to the right from #2

on the flat, vertical, south side.

3. the walrus and the carpenter V2* Start with the two side by side fin-ger pockets on the left side of the south face. Pull to the lip and traverse right, topping out at the apex.

4. grace under water V3/4 HARD sit start. Climb the right corner of the face to jugs leading up and left. Top out at the apex. The boul-der to the right is off.

AROMAthERAPyLocated just south and west of the Walrus boulder at the base of the hillside; these problems face east.

1. Justin b. proJect

2. aromatherapy V? A short corner problem on the right edge of the east face.


sLABtAstIc BOULDER

chad alldredge climbing “the edge of left”

1. the edge oF leFt V5* This problem ascends the narrow east face of the Slabtastic Boulder. Start by using holds just left of the right edge. Go up with liberal use of the right edge and some small crimps in the center of the face. Continue to milk the

right edge and when you can reach it, the left edge near the top.

2. slabtastic Face V? Do you dare? Make sure you have a few spotters when you come rocketing down this lichen-covered face and off the back edge of the landing zone!

sponsors:

slabtastic West side:1. chocolate eruption V2/V3 This problem follows the right side rail of the Slabtastic Boulder. Stand start using a jug. Move up and right along the rail by staying on the west side of it, topping out at the apex.

2. saVoir Faire V6 Sit start on the right edge of the west face. Pull up and move left to a crimp, bump to a sloper at the lip above. High step and reach far right to another tiny crimp before more slopers up the right corner to the boulder’s apex!

3. caVe man V? Start as for #4. At the lip of the cave, move left onto the back side of the Slabtastic Boulder and then up the corner to the apex for the top-out.

4. wedgie V2/3 Start in the cave and follow edges on the right wall to the lip of the cave. Continue up and right, likely wedg-ing yourself between the boulder you’re on and the back side of the Slabtastic Boulder.
