Summary
Shirley on top of The Wart with Bath Rock in the background (June 2002).
This was Memorial Day Weekend in 2002. We drove out to Idaho (along with our friend Patrick Wang, RIP) and tried hiking up Borah Peak only to get stormed off below the Chickenout Ridge. We drove to City Of Rocks afterwards & TR’ed some stuff on The Wart formation and led a 5.4 route on the road-side face of Bath Rock. I also scored a speeding ticket somewhere in the Idaho boonies. Is all I recall.
Shirley & I would come back in July of 2003 and bag Borah Peak via the same hiking route.

City Of Rocks

Bath rock, road face. The diagonal crack/flake in the center of the photo is a nice 5.4 route that tops out on Bath Rock in about 1.5 pitches (June, 2002).
