mccallboater Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Lake 33 near McCall, Idaho offers lots of moderate granite adventures. I'll be back! More pics and info here. Nice clean vertical hand jams about every 3 feet, for a 1/4 mile. More of same. Still more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdizzle25 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I went backpacking near mccall when i was about 15 and saw a granite wall above a lake that i reackoned at the time to be closer to 1000 feet than 500( i wasnt a climber than and didnt often judge these things. Its been bugging me to go back and find it, I reckon like most of Idaho, FAs are out there and not too difficult. Even at the time it looked splitter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccallboater Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 That's my buddy Keith and his pack. Keith is the King of Old School. You should see is ski gear. He gets out there lots, regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccallboater Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Approach. Drive up the Lick Creek road East of mcCall to the last switchback before the summit, 11 miles. You are actually climbing up the lake fork creek drainage at this point. Park. Hike East up the drainage, gaining about 1500' elevation, most of it in the last headwall 1/2 mile, to the summit between the Lake Fork and North Fitsum Creek drainage. About a 400' drop to the lake.
