Access Issue: Use BLM route to access Massacre, see driving directions on the main page below. DO NOT TRESPASS ON PRIVATE 'SHORT CUT' FARM ROADS!! The land owners are asking climbers be respectful and not trespass on their private property.
Details
The land owners are monitoring their farm roads and are asking climbers not to trespass and if they catch you, they will ask you to turn around. There is concern about liability, near misses at high speeds on the farm roads, and disruption of hunting on the cedar mound on their property. When using the BLM access route, there is a short section of private land between two metal gates that is also being monitored by the land owner for trespassing. Fortunately, there is an option to avoid this stretch. Adjacent to the private metal gate, there is a new public metal gate separating BLM land from Idaho State public land. Go through the right hand gate (close it behind you) and follow a newly cut road until you can join the regular 2 track road.
Description
Right of Lower Tier Wall on the west facing aspect of the Owl Cove Area near the mouth of the alcove is a great looking wall that starts at a huge ledge half way up the wall. There are 3 high quality routes here. You must use Dead Man Walking on Lower Asylum Wall or Red Shank on Rubble Wall as approach pitches to access the big ledge below Jail House Wall and these routes. It is also possible to locate rap anchors at the top of the cliff and rap in. The base of Jail House Wall has a comfortable ledge and a convenient belay/rappel anchor.
