Eagle Rock Grove is a climbing area in Idaho, about 3 miles from the town of Almo. The surrounding area is tightly packed with other climbing spots, including Heffalump and Fence Line, both about 0.1 mile away, and Shark's Fin Rock at about 0.2 mile. For a change from the rock, the Backyard Boulders Return Route hike starts about 0.7 mile off. The climbing here runs from about 5.6 up to 5.12c, with trad routes and sport routes among the options. The route list includes Kaya Bunga at 5.8 and Heel Thyself at 5.10d. The hardest route is Wings of Wax at 5.12c. The median grade is 5.10a, so the area works for climbers at different levels. Summer is the warmest stretch, with typical July and August highs around 86°F and lows near 57°F, while winter lows typically sit in the low 20s. Those figures are typical averages from a nearby weather station in Oakley, which sits about 1,450 feet lower than the grove, so temperatures at the climbing area run cooler.
