Season
Massacre Rocks is an awesome place to climb. Climbing can be done year round. Sunny
days in the winter can provide a great day of climbing on walls which are protected from
the wind and also receive ample sun. However, the summer months of July and August can
cause spit to sizzle. I have seen dogs run for shade as the sand burns the pads of their
paws. For the diehard climber a drive in the dark can bring you to Massacre Rocks in the
early morning for some nice climbing temperatures. Evenings also provide some decent
climbing in the hot months. The black rock, however, holds the heat so evening climbing
can still be greasy.
The best times to climb are late February through early June and early September
through early November.
Some More Info
Massacre Rocks receives its name from an Indian ambush that took place back in the old
days. Massacre is located on the Snake River and is a beautiful place. The walls along the
river provide the climber with views of various waterfowl species. Often you will be
looking down on a huge bird as it glides along the river. The walls located
"inland" from the river create beautiful box canyons that can hold a gaze for
hours. The spring brings a myriad of wildflowers to bloom and makes even the manliest of
man admit that flowers are cool. As things dry out the landscape gets bleak but the soft
glow of evening light casts a calming over the harsh desert vista.
The rock is Basalt and is a blast to climb on. Pockets, edges, slopers, scums, cracks,
seams, you name it Massacre Basalt has it. Most of the holds are edges and pockets.
The Please-take-care-of-it Spiel
The locals have been very protective of this climbing area, yet all admit that they
love to visit other secret sites so with some trepidation this web page is created. As a
matter of fact we talked one local out of writing an article for one of the well-known
magazines.
The main access is via the backroads. To get to the crags one must pass through a few
gates.
- Watch out for animals
- Keep your trash in your car
- Close all gates
If you are camping on the backside you will want to bring your own firewood. There is
wood out there but most of it is green Junipers or Sage Brush. There was a fire years ago
that left snags here and there. These snags look good on the landscape and provide birds
with perches. Be decent and leave them be, bring your own wood or better yet cook on a
stove and cuddle for warmth. Some irresponsible climbers have started fires at the base of
a few of the walls to keep warm on those winter days out. Again not too smart considering
the hasty land management decisions being made these days.
Gear
Some esoteric gear you may want to bring could include a snake bite kit and the
knowledge of how to use it. The Snake River plain is the home of some mighty big rattlers.
For climbing you mainly need a rack of quickdraws 14 should suffice on the longer
routes while the majority of climbs take around 8. There are some natural pro lines but
they are seldom done. For these a standard rack of cams and nuts should do the trick.
Ropes:
- Some longer routes require two ropes to lower
- If you are unsure take two ropes
- Tie a knot in the end of the rope so you don't drop your partner
A garbage sack and a roll of toilet paper are always a good call.
Access
River Access
The quickest and easiest way to reach the Main Wall and Owl Cove, if you have access to
a boat, is to cross the Snake River at Massacre State Park. Drive about 11.5 miles west of
American Falls on I-86. Take the Massacre Rocks exit, exit #28. Park where the road Ts and
pack your boat about 200 yards to the river, or drive to the boat ramp and boat 1/4 mile
back upriver. Camping and showers are available at the State Park for a fee.
Driving Access
Two-wheel drive backroads will get you near most of the climbing. From the town of
American Falls, take State Highway 39 across the American Falls Reservoir dam. Take the
first left, Lamb-Weston Road. Listed mileage starts here.
- 0.3 miles: Turn left onto Borah Road
- 1.8 miles: Turn left onto Lake Channel Road, which is paved and more-or-less follows the
river
- 13.5 miles: Look for a cattle guard where Lake Channel Road starts to turn right. You
can turn left onto a gravel road just before the cattle guard. Follow this gravel road
(for about 50 yards?) until you can turn left onto a dirt road that parallels the gravel
road and follows a fence (the fence will be on your left). If there is a fence across the
gravel road go back to Lake Channel road and cross the cattle guard. Once across the
cattle guard you will see a dirt road on the left, turn onto this road. The road will then
run into the gravel road. Cross the gravel road turning slightly left and pull onto the
dirt road that parallels the gravel road.
- After 0.4 miles on the dirt road you should see a place in the fence on the left that
you can pass through. Put the fence/gate back up after passing through. There is a small
outcropping of stones to the right of the gate.
- Dive on a dirt road for 1.1 miles and pass through another fence/gate (this is sometimes
down). There should be a water trough just on the other side of the gate.
- The road turns sharply left and continues for 1.3 miles. Here you pass through another
fence/gate.
- Drive for another 0.6 miles and then turn hard right onto the road that leads to the
various pullouts for the climbing.
To hike to the OUTBACK or MAIN WALL, don't take the last hard right. continue straight
until the road takes a sharp left. Park here and hike the old road, now closed to
motorized traffic.
The Snake River is aptly named. Rattlesnakes are common throughout
this area. Watch your step!

Westworld
Stay on Lake Channel Road, past the farm house turnoff. The road goes west, then swings
around to the south. At about 4.9 miles beyond the farm house turnoff, take the rough dirt
road branching off left. 0.7 miles later, cross a cattle guard. 0.2 miles beyond the
cattle guard, take the right fork. A sand hill just beyond may not be passable for 2-wheel
drive vehicles. At 1.3 miles beyond the cattle guard, take the middle fork. Park 0.2 miles
further, where the poor road plunges down a very sandy hill. Hike the road for about 200
yards to the south-facing crag, which is just north of the road.
For a few years this area consisted of the West World Wall only. In the late winter and
early spring of 1999 the Westminster Kennel Club and West Side Ghetto were developed.
