	Ian Cavanaugh · Feb 8, 2014 · Ketchum, ID · Joined Sep 2010 · Points: 620 Buffaloes in space .13b. A new one from Cody Scarpella in splatte. Boogie man at city of rocks was bolted and is not open to climbing. Hardest available crack climb is Straight out of the Ghetto .12+ r/x. While might not be true cragging there are a few .13- pitches on the elephants perch Any one think of any in Montana. There is a .13- on homestake pass that is only 25 ft tall, not enough to be considered... 0 Flag Quote
