Sunnyside Cliffs at Ross Park
Pocatello, Idaho
Rock Climb
The routes on the Sunny Side can be identified by a number at the bottom of the climbs. The number is close to where the rope should hang for a given climb. These numbers were put up years ago and new routes have been established which go between lines and they are thus numbered like 17A. In various places these numbers are close together just climb straight up above the numbers.
