Description:

A very long route with three distinct cruxes. Save your strength for the last moves. It is borderline slab with very few holds. The "Rock climbs of Southwest Montana" guide gives it 11a, but I'd give it 11c. A Montana 5.11a for sure.

Descent Options:

One 60 meter is just enough

4 out of 5 stars ...

Is this to the right of shock and awe?

3 out of 5 stars Long route, tricky!

Bottom is bouldery, there's a bulge to pull midway, and the top is thin, not much in the way of feet. Watch your rope positioning at the top, I got a good rope burn from a fall there. Watch for loose rock in the spring.

4 out of 5 stars great long route

A good roof crux midway, and another great crux just before the chains.
