Description:
One of the easiest 5.9 climbs at Gregory. About halfway between Barney Rubble (to the west) and Tn'A (to the east). Opening to crack is body wide down low, then tightens up at top. Fist to hand size jams are plentiful so finger strength is not that critical. Route #49 on the Billings Rimrocks route sheet. Very good climb if you're looking for something in the 5.8-5.9 range, certainly a good alternative to your 100th ascent of Welcome to Billings.Descent Options:
Rap down with chains, or scream goodby cruel world and jump!
