Olympic Cluster is a bouldering area within Massacre Rocks State Park in Idaho, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among several other climbing areas and trails, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the park's rock and hiking. The cluster holds eight bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V7-8. The easiest is Fuego at V0, and the hardest is Apollo at V7-8. Icarus and Torched are both V4, and Closer to the Sun is V6. The routes are close together, with Underworld Cluster, Garden of the Gods and Hindu all about 0.1 mile away. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 68°F and September highs around 77°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. The River Trail and Pohogwe Trail are both within a quarter mile, and Pipeline Campground is about 6 miles away for an overnight stay.
