Bedrock is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land in Idaho's Shoshone Field Office, about 4.8 miles from the nearby weather station in Bellevue. The surrounding area is a cluster of climbing spots, with Willy Wonka's Dynamic Fist, Knob Hill and Big Nose all about 0.1 mile away, and Rock Creek (Croy) Bouldering about 0.3 mile off. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 10 routes spread across the area. Grades run from V0 to V5, with the easiest routes, Barney Rubble and Dino's dyno, both at V0, and the hardest, Yabadabadoo!, at V5. Most of the routes were first ascended in 2018. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from the Bellevue station, which sits about 1,370 feet lower than the boulders, show July highs around 87°F and lows near 54°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s.
