Eastside is a climbing area in Idaho, about half a mile from the town of Asotin, Washington, across the state line. It sits right next to Westside, another climbing area, and within a short distance of the mountain biking routes at Charlie's Peak and Devil's Slide. Hells Gate, a climbing area about 0.2 miles away, rounds out the cluster of outdoor options in this corner of the state. The climbing here is a mix of trad and sport routes, with 10 trad and 8 sport routes among the 18 listed. Grades run from 5.6 up to 5.12, with the median around 5.8+. Some of the named routes include Blast Zone (5.6, sport), Hell Hath no Fury (5.8+, trad) and Give 'em Hell (5.12, sport). For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lewiston show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 79°F, while July and August average highs near 90°F. That station sits about 670 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Other nearby spots include Roadkill Crag, a climbing area in Washington about 7 miles away, and Asotin Creek, a paddling route at a similar distance.
