Q’emiln (pronounced “Ka-MEE-lin”) Park is widely recognized as the premier destination for moderate rock climbing in the Inland Northwest. Located just south of the Spokane River in Post Falls, this unique area offers exceptional vertical face climbing on high-quality orthogneiss and basalt rock walls. The park features nearly two hundred established routes, making it a beloved hub for local climbers and visiting outdoor enthusiasts alike. With a remarkably short approach walk from the main parking lot, it provides some of the most accessible outdoor cragging in the entire region.

The climbing walls at Q’emiln Park are famous for their excellent collection of routes graded five-ten and below. This abundance of moderate terrain makes the park the perfect training ground for developing climbers. The vertical faces feature positive, in-cut holds that are highly secure and rewarding to climb. Most sectors are shaded by a thick forest canopy. This keeps the cliffs remarkably cool and comfortable, even during the peak of the hot summer months. Whether you want to practice smooth footwork or experience your first outdoor lead, these walls offer ideal conditions.

Chillino Rock Climbing proudly guides across all the major walls within the park system. Our professional guiding services span popular zones like the Main Wall, the Garden Wall, the Outback Wall, and the canyons. Because the trails run directly beneath the cliffs, we emphasize strict safety systems, managing loose rock hazards and proper crag etiquette on every outing. Joining a guided session allows you to experience the absolute best lines in the park with complete confidence. We handle all the logistics so you can enjoy world-class climbing right here in Post Falls

The name comes from the Upper Coeur d’Alene language (Salish) and translates roughly to “the place where the throat is constricted,” referring to the narrow throat of the river canyon before the Post Falls Dam was built.
