When one thinks of the City of Rocks they usually think of beautiful trad lines, sick run-out slab, and superb sport routes.  Boulders get passed by with out a second thought.  As of lately a new craze of climbers have been penetrating City, the pebble wrestlers.  Craig Hurst, a Boise local, has been at the forefront of this new wave establishing to date only a few double digit problems with more yet to come!
