East Sector is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in the Burley Field Office of southern Idaho, about 10 miles from the town of Burley. It sits among several other named climbing spots, including The Green Wall, The Taco and Taco Cave, all about 0.1 mile away, and Comp Rock - East Face at about 0.2 mile. That makes it easy to pair with another crag on the same outing. The area has 14 routes, with grades ranging from 5.7 to 5.11c and styles split between sport (7 routes), trad (5) and mixed (2). Elf's Cap is a trad route at 5.7, and Monkey Funk is a sport route at 5.11c. Summer is the warmest time to climb here, with July and August highs averaging about 86°F. Those are typical averages from a nearby weather station at Oakley, which sits roughly 1,600 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures up high run cooler.
