One of the longest routes in the area, this will use all but a couple meters of your 60m rope and will utilize every technique you've got: stemming, crackwork, slab, bouldery pulls, you name it! Start with a short boulder problem to make the first clip and gain a big ledge. Get your slab game on here and start a left-ward trending traverse up across a blank looking (from below) face aiming for a small roof. Cross overtop this with a committing move (good exposure!) and into a groove with a tree. From here continue for another few clips up a cool shallow dihedral using edges and good fingerlocks in the crystal-lined crack.

Gets .10d/.11a in the guidebook but really no defined crux on this one, just some good exposure and a couple short tricky sequences up high.

Start by traversing left past the first few bolts (crux) then charge up the steep slab on crimps and drip pockets. Fun movement on small holds up a slab, this climb is a quality example of the climbing provided by the gray Madison limestone found in this and other areas across Montana.

Climb cracks/flakes up and right for about 25' to a good rest. Begin traversing up and left on good feet and bad hands before heading straight up to the anchor.

Start by climbing up a small mound of dirt and gravel straight into the crux. Slippery side pulls and open handed holds in the steep quickly give way to easier slab and the anchor. If the crux section was longer, this would be a mega classic.

The Brunckhorst guide calls this 5.12a, but it seems more like V3 or V4, so more in the mid-11 range.

Hard edges lead to a bulge. Pull this, then tend right onto slab. The climbing eases the higher you go.

Start on a blunt arete that leads to the crux then climb to a ledge to rest before pulling back onto the wall for the last third of the climb.
